Spotted Wolffish

The spotted wolffish is a bottom-dwelling fish that lives in cold, deep waters near rocky areas. It is found at depths of between 40 and 600 meters. The flesh is delicate with a special firm texture which makes it well suited for a range of cooking methods like poaching, frying, steaming, braising, grilling and deep-frying. The spotted wolffish is now a culinary delicacy in great demand.

Spotted wolffish fishing is carried out year-round. Fresh or frozen fillets are the main products. Spotted wolffish is more fatty than species from the cod family and it is a good source of protein, vitamin A and vitamin B12.
