While shopping around at your local grocery store, you may have come across ocean perch fillets.
As Canadians, we are familiar with the delicious lake perch but unless you live on the Atlantic coast, you may not be familiar with ocean perch.
Well don’t be shy, ocean perch isn’t actually a salty relative of our beloved lake perch.
In fact, it isn’t a perch at all!
Ocean perch is actually a type of rockfish found along the North Atlantic coasts of North America and Europe.
Their colouring is a bright orange-red and they can weigh up to 5 pounds but are most often 1-2 pounds when caught for market.
Ocean perch is a mild tasting fish that is a little sweet with a moderately firm texture.
The meat is lean, moist and flaky with the most delicate of flavours.
That’s why ocean perch is a great fish to cook with as it only requires simple flavours and doesn’t have that abundant fishy taste.
So, if you want a meal that is quick, simple and nutritious ocean perch is the way to go!
You can pick up some ocean perch at your local Lococo’s as they have a sale on Fresh Ocean Perch or $6.99 / lb.
