-Kingklip
It ain’t pretty, but it sure is a delicious treat. The Kingklip has a mild, sweet flavor with firm and dense flesh resembling monkfish, but softer and with large loose flakes.
Kingklip, also known as Cusk Eel, Kingu or Ling, is an eel-like fish found in the Southern Hemisphere off Argentina, Chille, Australa, New Zealand, and South Africa. Most are deep-water fish,but some are found in shallow water. It has a head like a fish and a body that resembles an eel. Golden red and black Kingklip are marketed internationally, but in the United States the Golden and Red are considered to be of the best quality.

The result is an amazing sashimi quality ocean trout with a higher fat content then salmon and a great flavor that lends itself to any type of cooking or smoking. This sustainably raised ocean trout is a more sustainable and lower costing than a similar Tasmanian Ocean Trout.
