Tarakihi is loved for its mild, clean flavour and fine, tender flakes. A classic New Zealand white fish, it’s easy-to-handle, versatile and perfect for everyday cooking.
Wild-caught out of the Hawkes Bay and up and down the East Coast, tarakihi fillets are ideal for pan-frying, baking, or gently steaming. Its delicate texture absorbs flavour well, making it a great match for simple seasonings, herbs, and citrus.
Naturally high in protein and a good source of iodine, tarakihi is a nutritious option for light meals. Serve with greens and a squeeze of lemon, or pair with a soft Chardonnay for an easy, balanced dish.
