🐟 New Zealand Grouper Fillet Straight from the clean, cold waters off New Zealand’s rugged coastlines, this Grouper fillet is a true ocean gem. Known locally as hapuku or hāpuku, New Zealand Grouper is a deepwater species prized for its firm yet moist white flesh, which cooks up beautifully and holds its shape with ease. The flavor is clean, slightly sweet, and rich without being overpowering—think somewhere between halibut and sea bass. Caught with care, most New Zealand Grouper are line-caught, a method that supports sustainable fishing practices by minimizing bycatch and protecting ocean ecosystems. It’s a mindful choice for those who value both quality and sustainability on their plate.
 
🍽️ Prep Tips: This fillet really shines with simple techniques that let the natural flavor speak. Try pan-searing it with a lemon herb butter for a crispy, golden exterior and a flaky center. Or, for something a bit more elevated, roast it with garlic, capers, and white wine for a Mediterranean twist. If you're feeling adventurous, it also holds up well on the grill—just brush it with olive oil and finish with a squeeze of fresh citrus.  Check out this Recipe for GROUPER FLORENTINE
