often found in the Indian Ocean, and are usually available around 500g. Pomfret is

turmeric, cinnamon and chilli before frying, baking or steaming.
GamefishThese are some of the world’s great species – large and powerful, and fantastic to
observe in the wild. Imported into the UK daily from warmer waters around the
world, these species rarely swim near UK shores. For the chef they provide large
loins of boneless meat, which can be cut into skinless and boneless portions.
Increasingly popular on menus, where consumers like the meatiness and the lack of
any bones.
