About Fish, tilefish, cooked, dry heat
The great northern tilefish (Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps), often called golden tilefish, is a colorful deep-water bottom fish of the Atlantic that burrows in the seafloor. It has firm, white flesh with large, moist flakes and a sweet, rich flavor frequently compared to lobster or crab, owing to a diet of crustaceans, which makes it a delicacy. Tilefish is a good source of lean protein, vitamin B12, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Its dense, meaty fillets take well to grilling, roasting, broiling, pan-searing, and chowders, and pair beautifully with butter, citrus, and herbs. One caution: large tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico can be high in mercury, so children and those who are pregnant should limit or avoid it, while Atlantic tilefish is a lower-mercury choice best eaten in moderation. Choose firm, glistening fillets with a clean smell, and store tilefish well chilled and use it within a day or two, or freeze it.
