    A DELICATE, FLAVOURFUL SOUTH AFRICAN CLASSIC

    The Cape Yellowtail is famed for its high fat content, which makes it one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids of any fish. In South Africa yellowtail are associated with the annual sardine run, when they leave their deep-water spawning grounds to feast. Our yellowtail is low impact, wild caught by artisanal, handline fishermen off Struisbaai, Cape Point and up the west coast.

  • Fishwife Recipes

    Classic Yellowtail Braai

    Preparing yellowtail on the braai imparts a smoky flavour that beautifully compliments this delicious fish. Let The Fishwife show you how. You will need:

    • 750g Greenfish Yellowtail Fillet, skin on (plus minus 250g per person)
    • A few knobs of Butter
    • 2-3 teaspoons of crushed Garlic
    • Salt & Pepper

    Preparation:

    1. Place the fillet on the braai grid skin side down and season with salt and pepper. Spread a few teaspoons of crushed garlic over the fillet and place a couple of knobs of butter on top.
    2. Place the grid high above the coals on a medium heat and braai skin side down. Cooking on a medium heat high above the coals will prevent the skin from burning. You will see the meat change from translucent pink to white. Cook until you can see this colour change has just gone past halfway (this process will take approximately 15 -18 minutes).
    3. Flip the grid over so that the flesh side is now above the coals and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes until almost done. When the fillet looks 95% cooked remove from the heat as it will continue to cook once taken off the coals.
    4. Enjoy with friends!

          Fresh Yellowtail Fillets

          The fresh fillets were of excellent quality. I prepared them on the braai using The Fish Wife's recipe where one parcels the fish [covered in onions, coriander, butter, salt and pepper and lemon slices ] in foil. Exceptionally tasty way to prepare fish.

          Overall experience doesn't seem to waiver, whatever the purchase. The fish was superb, beautifully packed, and speedily delivered by the same friendly courier. What more could one ask for? Thank you Greenfish.

          Fabulous fresh yellowtail

          I ordered fresh yellowtail fillets first thing in the morning. The delivery was prompt, midday on the same day. Beautifully packed and cold. We ate the fish that night and were very impressed with the quality. Amazing service!

          Fantastic

          The yellowtail was simply fantastic! A massive piece enough for 4 people. The fish itself was so firm it was like eating a steak - none of that watery stuff you tend to get these days. Definitely buy again.

          Yellowtail Fillets, fresh fish box

          I cooked these for the first time. One of my guests is a chef - everyone raved about the yellowtail! I was seriously pleased I'd managed to cook them perfectly too. Excellent quality fish!
