About
THE MOST SOUTH AFRICAN OF FISH
In the Western Cape, the snoek braai is a universally shared social occasion. This hardy fish is as commonly enjoyed, as it is easily found in the cold waters of the west and southern coast of South Africa. Snoek has a distinctive, unmistakable flavour, which comes from sardines and anchovies it likes to prey on. The flesh is firm, but oily, which is one of the reasons it works so well on the braai. Our snoek comes flecked, which is a process of filleting from the back and then curing lightly with salt to extract water and firm up the flesh before freezing. All our snoek comes from handline fishermen catching off Lambertsbaai on the West Coast.
CONTENT
1x Snoek per Box (2.0kg - 3.0kg) * About 8-9% of local snoek caught are pap. We know this because when we fleck them, we take out the pap ones before salting, wrapping and freezing the good ones before we distribute. The pap snoek are made into salted snoek and sold separately.
* In the unlikely event that you think you have a pap snoek, please snap a photo and send us a whatsapp to assist you – 0636662802. If it is "pap" please wrap and freeze it and we will gladly swap it out.

Instructions
Your Snoek will arrive frozen, simply store in your freezer (up to 3 months) and use at your leisure. It is best to remove product from packaging to defrost, simply place on a tray in your fridge and allow to thaw slowly
Any special requests or instructions can be left in the NOTES section at the Checkout. Eg: Your doorbell does not work, you require a phone call before the order arrives, you would like the fillets / steaks vacuum packed seperately or cut into smaller portions etc.

Eco rating
Snoek is often caught by trawlers or imported from Australia and New Zealand (where it is known as barracouta). However, all Greenfish snoek is sourced from handline fishermen in Lambertsbaai on the west coast. Not only does handline fishing offer the lowest possible environmental impact, but we also believe it yields the best quality.

Fishwife Recipes
Braaied Snoek with Apricot Jam
Our partner site The Fishwife shows us why braaied snoek and apricot is so highly regarded on the Cape Peninsula. You will need:
- 1 Greenfish flecked snoek
- 85g butter
- 2 heaped tsp crushed garlic
- 1/2 cup apricot jam
- 1/4 cup chutney
- 1/2 lemon (squeezed)
Preparation:
- Get your braai on the go and grease the grid so the snoek skin doesn't stick to it.
- Place your flecked snoek on the grid, skin side down.
- In a small pot on the stove, heat the butter and garlic and sauté for a minute or two.
- Add the jam, chutney and lemon juice and combine with a whisk into a nice sticky chutney jam.
- Allow the jam to reduce on a medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with the whisk.
- Take the jam off the heat and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before basting the fish.
- Baste the snoek generously with the jam until evenly coated.
- Place the grid over the hot coals, skin side down.
- Cook on a medium heat, with the grid at its highest setting for about 15-20 minutes.
- Best enjoyed straight off the grid with your fingers!
Note: Flecked snoek already has a salty taste, so there is no need to salt the fish.

South AfricaWest coast snoek
Absolutely brilliant. Will definitely be ordering that again and again. Had overseas visitors so we put the 2 smokes on the braai and used 2 different basting sauces. It was the best. Thank you
South AfricaExtremely Salty, not so fresh
Gave the snoek a slight rinse but it was still extremely salty and not as fresh by Greenfish standards. Did not add any salt or additional salty rubs.

The snoek was firm!! So many compliments from everyone who ate it. It was prepared in the oven and came out perfect. The packaging was neat and there was no smell of fish in my freezer which i loved!!. The size of the fish could feed about 10ppl. I would definitely purchase from Greenfish again.

I was blown away by their customer service. The website was easy to navigate, I placed my order at 20:00 and my fish was delivered the next day by 13:00. I will definitely be using green fish in future.

South AfricaSnoek took the crown
We followed the Fish wife's recipe. Ate off the grid and it's was absolutely delicious. Everyone was licking their fingers and even though we were all "versagdig" we continued to pick and pick because dit was soooo lekker! Will buy Snoek again for sure! I was quite a few wines in and completely forgot to take photos.

This product was absolutely amazing! It was so fresh; we could still get the smell of the sea and that is what fresh fish should smell like. The snoek was very big and worth every single cent we spent. My family loved it and Greenfish will be our new fish supplier going forward. Hats off to you, guys!!! A BIG FAT 10/10 ♥

South AfricaJane Koffman
Both the Snoek and the Yellowtail were a superb hit at my husband's birthday braai. Although honestly the Yellow tail was huge and would have been more than enough for us all. Ordering the snoek was too much. Because obviosly we had salads and some people still brought meat. In future I will only order 1 fish. Thank you. Swrvice & delivery and fish were great!

Great! Good quality snoek!
South AfricaYummy yummy yummy!
I order from Greenfish often and this is a favorite. They cut it into 3 portions so it's enough for 3 braai days! We marinade it in apricot jam ( low sugar), cashew butter, garlic, lemon and chili. Wonderful, easy and economical.
