Sealord Hoki Fry

Crumbed and Battered Hoki fillets with Chips

Sealord Hoki Fry is made from Hoki fillets, individually coated with fresh breadcrumbs, then snap-frozen to ensure freshness. Hoki is a white, flaky and succulent fish with a mild flavour and is certified as sustainable by the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council). The natural shape variation of Hoki fry, and the fresh, crisp crumb create an excellent plate presentation. Sealord Hoki Fry can be served with a wide range of sauces and seasonings, and is ideal for restaurants and function caterers.

Description

Our Hoki is filleted, then cut by hand into weight and size controlled portions. The portions are then coated with fresh breadcrumbs. Hoki Fry is not pre-fried. Sealord Hoki, related to hake, is also known as whiptail, blue hake, or blue grenadier. Sealord Hoki found in New Zealand waters averages 60-100cm (23-40 inches) in length and has an average weight of 1.5kg (3.3 lb). Hoki is caught by trawling in water 200-800 metres (650-2,600 feet) deep. Hoki is most abundant around the South Island of New Zealand. The species is fished year round, but the peak catching period is June to September.

Sustainability

All New Zealand fish are sustainable as our fisheries are strictly controlled by the Quota Management System. This system is recognised as one of the most effective in the world. Sealord Hoki is certified as sustainable by the MSC (Marine Stewardship Council).
