          Exceptional 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!

          Moonfish

          First time for us, lovely subtle taste, not an overwhelming fish or typical game fish taste, but just enough. Pan fried in butter, delicious!

          I 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.

          Absolutely 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

          Moonfish 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.

          Very quickly delivered as usual. The fish was phenomenal! Ended up doing it 3 ways just to have a few different prep methods. 1 raw. 2 oven baked with a very light paprika chilli marinade 3 panfried with a sesame seed crust. This was fking amazing!! The Panfried version was king still slightly pink in the centre top quality fish. Everytime. Thank you Greenfish.

          Great 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.
