Tilefish is a premium fish known for it's delicate flavor and firm, flaky texture. It boasts a mild, slightly sweet taste, making it a favorite for seafood lovers seeking a versatile and flavorful option. Its flesh is white and lean, ideal for grilling, baking, or pan-searing.
Red's Best uses advanced freezer technology to super-freeze their locally caught fish and shellfish to temperatures below -61 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 24 hours. They perform this process as it is necessary to reduce the risk of consuming raw, wild seafood. Red's Best commercial super freezer accelerates the freezing process, and preserves the texture of the proteins by reducing the expansion of water molecules within the flesh of the seafood.
The tilefish are flash frozen and vacuum sealed at peak freshness from the ocean. They are delivered to us frozen and stored in our freezer until they are packed in your box. Each item provides the transparent catch data on the packaging; the fisherman, vessel, port of origin, and gear used.
All our seafood selections are evaluated based on location and catch or aquaculture method as recommended by the Monterey Bay Seafood Watch.
