About this item

Golden pomfret is a flat, silver-skinned fish with a small head and very little waste, which is why it lands on so many family tables. Ours are frozen at sea shortly after the net comes up, so the flesh keeps its clean, milky sweetness instead of turning soft. The body holds together in a pan and takes on ginger, garlic or a squeeze of citrus. Few bones sit along the centre line, making it easy to serve to children. Steam it whole, shallow-fry it until the skin crisps, or braise it in a light sauce.
