Ever heard of Kingklip?

Me neither but I bought a big fillet that looks awesome. Tail looks like an eel. Supposed to be sweet and mild.

Will find out soon enough.

Will let ya know.

Where did you find it:question:

Stopped by Sea Eagle in Bft on the way in. Have some good stuff in the freezer, but like to see what they have.

I’m well aware of the Truth in Seafood debacle, but when its still intact, fins, skin etc. Think I got the real thing.

I went to Sea Eagle today and saw the kingkilp, didn’t buy it but it looked nice. Let us know how it turned out.

It was great. Let it come to room temp the brushed it with some melted compound butter. Dusted lightly with flour and a quick sear in olive oil, the in oven to finish.

That’s a weird looking fish man. Glad it was tasty!

Looks like there is a version caught in the Gulf also. It is actually “Bearded Brotula” Whatever that is. Guess I need to get some and try it!

It looks like it is related to Cod and Haddock so I’m sure it is tasty. The fillets look almost identical.
