What do you want to cook with the fish?

The choice of your dish and the method of preparation are crucial for selecting the right fish. Whether you want to pan-fry a tender fillet, grill a firm piece, or use thin slices for sashimi—choosing the right fish makes all the difference. Here are a few questions to help you decide:

Do you want to enjoy your fish raw?

No problem. When shopping, just look for the sashimi label—it indicates fish that can be safely eaten raw. Perfect for sashimi, ceviche, or poke bowls.

Do you want to fry or grill your fish?

If the fish is exposed to direct, intense heat, it is best to choose a firm-fleshed variety such as salmon, cod, or kingfish. These fish retain their structure and remain juicy. Fillets with skin are also suitable for pan-frying—they protect the tender flesh and add extra flavor.

Looking for the perfect fish for salads or bowls?

Mild-tasting, pre-cooked fillets or lightly seared pieces are suitable for cold dishes, which you can easily fold in after cooling. For fresh bowls, we recommend sashimi-quality fish, and for classic salads, gently cooked or steamed varieties such as char.

Would you like to go all out with flavor?

If you love intense flavors, try fattier fish such as salmon, mackerel, or kingfish. They add depth and umami to dishes—perfect for rich sauces or Mediterranean combinations.
For delicate, elegant dishes, cod, sea bass, or char are the right choice.

Filet or a whole fish?

Want to keep things simple? Then go for ready-to-cook fillets—they're already deboned, portioned, and ready to use.
