FAQ

01.What exactly is moonfish? Is it the same as opah?

The name "moonfish" can refer to different species depending on the region. In many contexts, it refers to opah (genus Lampris), a large, colorful, deep-bodied pelagic fish. However, it is also used for other species like the spotted moonfish (Mene maculata), a smaller, extremely compressed, almost triangular fish found in coastal waters. The opah is particularly notable as the first fish discovered to have a warm heart.

02.How should frozen moonfish be stored?

Frozen moonfish should be kept at -18°C (0°F) or below. When properly wrapped or vacuum-packed, it can be stored in a freezer for up to 3 months. Commercial products may have a shelf life of up to 24 months under optimal frozen conditions.

03.What is the best way to thaw frozen moonfish?

The recommended method is slow thawing in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can place it under cold running water. Never thaw on the counter at room temperature or use warm/hot water, as this can ruin the texture and flavor. Once thawed, consume within 1–2 days and do not refreeze.

04.Can I cook frozen moonfish without thawing it first?

Yes, you can cook frozen moonfish directly from the freezer. However, cooking times will be longer, so ensure the fish is cooked thoroughly.

05.What are the best cooking methods for frozen moonfish?

Moonfish is versatile and can be grilled, roasted, steamed, pan-seared, or used in seafood curries and braises. It has a firm, fatty texture and a rich, creamy taste often described as a cross between tuna and swordfish. Because of its higher fat content, it tolerates higher heat without drying out but cooks quickly-avoid overcooking. It is also prized for sashimi and sushi in some regions.
