Enjoy Fresh, Never Frozen Seafood – Shipped Overnight! LEARN MORE
We like to think of meaty blowfish tails as the pescatarian’s drumsticks—firm, mild, and best breaded and fried and eaten by hand. Sourced off the east coast, from Long Island to the Carolinas depending on the time of year, this wild-caught Atlantic variety is completely safe to eat and has a subtle, earthy flavor and can add texture, heft, and just a touch of exotic flair to bubbly seafood stews.
Dredge the Blowfish Tails in flour and saut? for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Portion Size
Our Wild Blowfish Tail has 6-8 tails in our 1 pound portion. We recommend 8 ounces raw weight per person when serving various seafood items. The size of this order is 2 lbs (approx. 6-8 pieces per lb), which serves approx. 4 people.
"Fried blowfish pairs really well with a fruity white like Oregon Pinot Gris."
