This month our featured “Fun Fish” is Hogfish sourced from the Gulf of Mexico!
Hogfish are aptly named for their long, hog-like nose, which the fish use to root around in the sand to find buried mollusks and crustaceans. The natural sweetness of its prey (shellfish, mussels, etc.) lend a sweet characteristic to the flavor of the fish.
Hogfish have white, flaky fillets, which make them a great choice for restaurants. This fish is a great substitute for snapper and is delicious prepared sautéed, grilled, pan-roasted or as ceviche.
This month, we prepared our Hogfish three ways at the Elevation Chef’s Playground.

The first dish, prepared by Chef Howard Lewis of Elevation Reps, was a play on a Tonkotsu flavor, breaded and served with a coconut fried rice. The second dish, prepared by Chef Peter Rauen of Seattle Fish, was a pan-seared hogfish with ginger-lime sauce. And the third dish, which was the showstopper of the day, was prepared by Chef Brandi Beaver, Seattle Fish Gourmet Sales Manager, who grilled the Hogfish whole, with a MisoHeat butter, shishito peppers and lime.
