John Dory

Trawl or line caught, Massachusettes or Rhode Island

John Dory joins monkfish in the Museum of Odd-looking Fish. Its large head and the long spines on its dorsal (top) fin give it a distinctly "punk" look. There's a black spot resembling a large fish eye on either side of its body, probably functioning as a deterrent to predators. Or is that black spot indeed the thumbprint of St. Peter (the patron saint of fishermen)?

Apart from its appearance, John Dory is a tasty—though under-loved—fish. It is flaky and has a mild somewhat sweet flavor. It's best poached, steamed, baked, or sautéed. Because (like monkfish) it has long been considered bycatch, many chefs have taken the sustainability challenge and are featuring John Dory, a perfectly lovely fish. See if you agree! Low mercury level. Kosher.

Barramundi

Net pens, Malaysia

Barramundi, reportedly a name given to the fish by indigenous Australians, means large-scaled silver fish. It is also called Passion Fish. In an Australian Aborigine Dreamtime legend, part creation story, the barramundi transforms itself into the moon.

Barramundi is comparable to wild sea bass. It is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and is recommended for its sweet, buttery flavor. Our featured barramundi is farmed in Malaysia, in low-density net pens. Low mercury level. Kosher.

Gibsons Steakhouse Seasoning Salt

Ingredients: Salt, spices, dehydrated onion and garlic.

We are selling this product because a dietician recommended it for a friend with heart issues. It contains only salt, spices, and dehydrated onion and garlic, and it is the secret ingredient that some say makes Gibsons steaks so good. Because it is a healthy alternative to straight kosher salt, we wanted to try it.
The verdict? Gibsons proved to be excellent on fish too!
Net weight: 6 ounces for $6.00
