{"product_id":"tusk-fillet","title":"Tusk Fillet","description":"\u003cp\u003eA slow-moving, solitary fish, tusk feeds on crabs, shellfish, larger crustaceans and smaller fish. It has a distinctive appearance, with a long, solid body, a single continuous dorsal fin and a small barbel beneath its chin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTusk has a long history in northern European fishing communities, particularly in Scotland and Scandinavia, where it was traditionally caught on lines alongside cod and ling. It was often salted and dried for preservation, a practice which made good use of its naturally firm flesh. Historically, it was particularly valued when cured, as the flesh develops thick, substantial flakes when cooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, tusk is an excellent firm-fleshed white fish with a mild, slightly sweet flavour. Its texture is often compared to cod or halibut, although it is particularly substantial and holds together exceptionally well during cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works beautifully pan-fried with butter, garlic and lemon, or roasted with olive oil, herbs and seasonal vegetables. Its firm texture also makes it particularly well suited to fish stews, curries and chowders, where it will retain its shape rather than breaking apart. For something a little different, try it salted lightly before cooking and served with brown butter, capers and parsley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rockfish","offers":[{"title":"Tusk Loin Fillet","offer_id":57728124387703,"sku":"SAHTUSKFILL-1","price":5.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tusk Tail Fillet","offer_id":57728124420471,"sku":"SAHTUSKFILL-2","price":3.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/8263\/9770\/files\/Tusk-portions.jpg?v=1794237980","url":"https:\/\/therockfish.co.uk\/products\/tusk-fillet","provider":"Rockfish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
