Various Cuts We Offer

WHOLE ROUND

This refers to the fish in its entirety, just as it comes out of the water. No parts have been removed, and it's essentially in its natural state.

HEADED & GUTTED

The fish's head is removed, and it's also gutted, meaning the internal organs are taken out. This leaves the main body, including the tail, intact.

GILL & GUTTED

The fish has had its gills and internal organs removed. This is a common preparation method to increase the fish's shelf life and make it ready for cooking without further cleaning.
