About Hogfish

Hogfish, a species of wrasse native to the western Atlantic, is prized for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and tender, white flesh. It’s a lean source of protein, making it an excellent choice for maintaining muscle health while keeping fats to a minimum. Rich in essential nutrients like vitamin D, potassium, and selenium, Hogfish supports immune function, bone health, and cardiovascular wellness. The fish is particularly popular in Caribbean and Floridian cuisine, often grilled, sautéed, or served as ceviche due to its delicate texture. With low mercury levels compared to other seafood, Hogfish is considered a safer option for regular consumption. However, if fried or paired with heavy sauces, its nutritional benefits can be offset by added fats and calories. Enjoy Hogfish as a wholesome addition to a balanced diet, appreciating its versatility and fresh ocean taste.
