1lb, cut to order, bone in Blowfish Tails. Also known as the Northern Puffer (Sphoeroides maculatus) it is safe to eat unlike its highly toxic cousin, the Japanese fugu. It's sometimes referred to as "chicken of the sea" due to its mild flavor and firm, tender texture.
Easy Seafood Recipe - On the East Coast, blowfish tails are often deep-fried, similar to fried chicken. This method brings out a crunchy exterior while preserving the delicate, juicy interior. They can also be grilled or sautéed, but frying is the most popular preparation. They’re typically served with a dipping sauce like tartar sauce or a lemon butter sauce.
Health Benefits - Blowfish is a great source of low-fat protein, magnesium, and selenium. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body repair damaged cells and aids in decreasing inflammation. Plus, unlike larger predatory fish like swordfish or tuna, Northern pufferfish are smaller and generally low in mercury, making them a safer option for frequent consumption, especially for pregnant women and children.
Did You Know - Since the pufferfish tails have a cartilage-like backbone, people often eat them by holding the tail and biting the meat directly off the bone, similar to chicken wings.
