Firm, Flavourful & Perfect for Pickled Fish or the Braai

Our Whole Yellowtail (1–2kg per piece) is a premium wild-caught fish known for its firm texture, rich flavour, and cooking versatility. A local favourite along South Africa’s coastline, it’s ideal for grilling, baking, or using in traditional dishes.

Why South Africans Love It:
Yellowtail is a braai essential in many homes and a well-loved choice for the classic Cape Malay pickled fish—a dish commonly enjoyed during the Easter period. Its firm flesh holds its shape beautifully in the tangy, spiced pickle mix, making it the perfect fish for this time-honoured tradition.

Cooking Uses:

• Pickled Fish: Cooked and soaked in a spiced vinegar marinade for a nostalgic Easter favourite.

• Braai (Grill): Whole on the fire with garlic butter or lemon marinade.

• Oven-Baked: Stuff with herbs and bake at 180°C for 30–35 minutes.

• Fillet and Fry: Pan-fry with lemon and spice for a quick and tasty meal.

Cooking Tip:
Score the skin before cooking to allow flavours to penetrate and to ensure even cooking.

Whether you're firing up the coals or preparing a festive dish, our Whole Yellowtail delivers on flavour, texture, and South African tradition.
