Farm Raised Cobia
Cobia has been said to be one of the best tasting fish in the sea-prefered over snapper, grouper, scamp and pompano. Known also as lemonfish beause they have a faint taste of lemon. Dark brown with a single dorsal fin, the cobia is often mistaken for a shark. Raw cobia meat is light tan, but cooked, it turns snowy white. It has a sweet, rich flavor which is firm with a nice flake. The oil content is similar to that of coho salmon.Cobia is low in calories and high in protein. The firm, moist flesh lends itself well to grilling and takes well to marinades and bold sauces. Fried, grilled, broiled, or sautéed, this fish is an excellent menu choice.
