South AfricaExceptional Quality and Freshness – Moonfish Steaks Review
I recently tried the Moonfish Steaks from the Fresh Fish Box, and I was really impressed. The steaks were incredibly fresh and had a distinctive, rich flavor that made them stand out. It's clear they were high-quality and responsibly wild-caught, which is important to me. Overall, a great experience, and I'll definitely be ordering again!

South AfricaBest ever
Never eaten moonfish before. Thought we would try something different for a change. And wow. A delicious rich creamy taste and cooked with lemon juice the flavours were outstanding. Delivered within a few hours and packed well as always.
South AfricaMoonfish
First time for us, lovely subtle taste, not an overwhelming fish or typical game fish taste, but just enough. Pan fried in butter, delicious!
South AfricaI am over the MOON
Service was excellent - as usual. It was my first Moon Fish time and I must say it was excellent, delicious. Simply fried it in olive oil and butter and served with lemon and garlic butter. Heaven.
South AfricaAbsolutely Delish
We had many people over for braai and wanted to try something new. This fish is amazing. For me it tastes somewhere between tuna and salmon. It is absolutely yummy! We just seasoned it and braai it medium### Opah is my new favourite fish
South AfricaMoonfish Steaks
Quick delivery of a very fresh product. The two steaks of around 800/900g were well cut (neat and tidy) and easy to prepare. Delicious meal - shallow fried, coated in seasoned flour and egg wash, fried over low heat with a slight pink centre. Went well with egg fried rice and a Thai dipping sauce. The fish is a firm fish with a gentle flavour similar to tuna but less gamey. Green Fish continues to hit the mark.

Quick and easy order process. Easy and quick delivery. Delish fish. Just seasoned with freshly ground pink salt, black pepper and lemon juice and into sizzling buttered pan. Yummy! Thank you for intro to this fish, Greenfish!

South AfricaA fantastic fish.
Here is a great recipe for Moonfish. https://www.food.com/recipe/seared-opah-moonfish-with-vine-ripe-tomato-garlic-butter-214017
South AfricaThe quality is always excellent and the service matches
South AfricaGreat service; new experience
We felt adventurous and decided to give Opah a try. The delivery, packaging and fresheness was excellent as always. I concur with other reviewers that Opah seems like a cross between Tuna and Salmon. The flesh has an orange and pink hue, is very firm, and the skin quite thick. It is rich and the taste is similar to wild-caught salmon, but wilder. Overall I definitely prefer either tuna or salmon; glad I had the experience nonetheless. The sustainability rating is also 3/5, and is good enough reason for me to only try this fish once.
South AfricaFantastic
Wow ,I had these in my freezer waiting to try these never had before, what a surprise, how blessed we are to have fish like this,got to do a re run on swordfish, Marlin to see which was better,5 stars to Greenfish
