John Dory is renowned for its subtle sweetness and soft, silky texture. A refined fish, it’s often favoured in fine dining for its delicate eating quality.
Wild-caught in out of Hawkes Bay and along the East Coast, John Dory is best pan-fried or cooked gently and pairs well with a butter sauce. Careful cooking preserves its tender flakes.
High in lean protein, John Dory is light yet indulgent. Serve with seasonal vegetables and a glass of Chardonnay for an elegant meal.
