DELICATE FLAVOUR & FIRM TEXTURE
This versatile fish is naturally lean, with white, boneless flesh that offers a mild, slightly sweet flavour and firm bite. It’s especially popular in European cuisine, both for its clean fillet yield and adaptability across culinary styles—from fine dining to home-cooked meals.
Pike Perch is typically available as skin-on or skinless fillets, fresh or individually quick frozen (IQF). Fillets are carefully processed to meet the high standards of retail and foodservice customers, with consistent sizing and excellent plate presentation.
