Product Description
Spear-caught in the Florida Keys, hogfish is prized for a mild, lightly sweet profile and delicate, flaky texture. Trimmed skin off, PBO (Pin Bones Out), it cooks fast and evenly, ideal for pan-searing in butter and olive oil, grilling over medium heat, or oven-roasting with herbs and white wine.
Keep the seasoning simple to let the fish lead: lemon, capers, and fresh parsley are all it needs. For a casual take, flake into warm tortillas with lime and a crisp slaw; for a cleaner plate, finish with a spoon of brown-butter caper sauce.
How is the seafood kept fresh during shipping?
Every Direct Seafood order is packed in an insulated cooler with ample dry ice to maintain frozen conditions during transit. Each portion is individually vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and ensure ease of storage.
When your shipment arrives, the seafood should be fully frozen. Immediately transfer it to your freezer. Any remaining dry ice should be handled with care—either dispose of it using the instructions provided or allow it to dissipate by closing the cooler lid.

Once thawed in the refrigerator, cook and consume within 24 hours, and do not refreeze.
