About Fish, roughy, orange, cooked, dry heat
The orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus), once known as the slimehead, is a deep-sea fish caught in cold waters around the world and valued for its mild flavor and firm, moist white flesh. The meat has a delicate, slightly sweet taste and large, tender flakes that hold together well during cooking, with very little of a fishy edge. Orange roughy is low in fat and a good source of lean, high-quality protein along with vitamin B12 and selenium.
Its mild taste and sturdy texture make it versatile, equally good baked, broiled, pan-seared, grilled, or used in chowders, and it readily takes on seasonings, butter, and citrus. Because it is a slow-growing, long-lived fish, it is worth choosing responsibly sourced fillets. Look for fillets that smell clean and fresh, and store orange roughy well chilled in the refrigerator, using it within a day or two or freezing it.
