Additional information

Redfish, or ocean perch, is caught in the waters around Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and New Foundland. It is available in two types: Sebastes marinus pink and orange in colour, mainly caught in coastal areas; and Sebastes mantilla with a deeper red colour, mainly caught at 800-1200 metres. Both varieties are rich in flavour and popular in markets across the world.
