- Consistent Sizing — pieces are graded so they cook evenly together.
The Details
The flesh stays translucent and juicy, with the bright orange roe contrasting against it on the plate. That contrast is a good sign: it tells you the piece is fresh and has been handled properly from catch to pack.
Because they are already cleaned, they go straight into the steamer, the pan or the fryer. Serve them simply with garlic butter, salt and citrus, or fold them into a curry or a seafood pasta where their sweetness carries through.
They are equally at home at a casual gathering and a formal dinner — the kind of ingredient that looks like far more effort than it took.
