CORAL TROUT (Plectropomus Leopardus)

Coral Trout is a tropical fish with varying skin colour from shades of green to shades of red. It is distinguishable by small blue spots located all over its body, and striking shading around the eye.

Coral Trout live and grow in the warm, shallow waters of coral reefs, and are caught year-round. In Australia, it is still found thriving in the wild in the pristine waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

An elegant fish, Coral Trout has long been prized as a premier table fish. It has gentle fat and a firm texture, with fine flakes and few bones, which are easily removed. Served whole or as fillets, it is a sensory delight to experience. There is no difference in taste with colour.
