Rockfish: Main Image

Best to Buy

Look for rockfish that smells fresh like the ocean and has clear, bright eyes, clean gills, and moist, shiny, tightly adhering scales.

Prep & Store

Remove packaging, rinse fish under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels. Refrigerate rockfish covered with crushed ice and cling wrap for up to two days.

Tasty Tip

The secret to delicious rockfish is to not overcook it; cook just until its flesh becomes opaque but is still moist.

Quick & Easy Recipe

Brush rockfish with melted butter, season with salt and pepper, wrap with foil, and place in a baking dish. Bake in a preheated 450°F (230°C) oven until firm.
