John Dory

Description:
John Dory (Zeus faber) is a premium white fish, known for its distinctive look and exceptional quality. It has a flat, oval body with a silvery-olive skin and a characteristic dark spot on each side. This deep-sea fish is found in temperate and tropical waters, including the waters around Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.

Taste & Texture:
John Dory is highly prized for its delicate, slightly sweet flavor with a clean, mild taste. The flesh is white, firm, and fine-textured with large, moist flakes. It’s a refined fish that appeals to both seafood lovers and those who prefer milder flavors.

Cooking Methods:
John Dory’s firm yet tender flesh makes it versatile in the kitchen. It can be prepared in a variety of ways:

• Pan-seared for a crispy skin and juicy interior

• Grilled with olive oil, lemon, and herbs

• Baked with vegetables or in foil for a light, healthy dish

• Steamed or poached for delicate preparations

• Excellent in soups, fish stews, or served with creamy or citrus-based sauces

Refrigeration Temperature:
To maintain freshness, John Dory should be stored at a temperature between 0°C to 2°C. Ideally, keep it on ice in the coldest part of the refrigerator. If vacuum-sealed, it can last 2–3 days under proper chilling. For longer storage, freezing is recommended at -18°C or below.
