Moonfish has a large-grain, fatty flesh and versatile across most cooking methods.  The flesh when cooked holds its form well so is ideal in curries or stir fries.  Seared Moonfish is also great eating as it becomes very tender when cooked.The perfect wine to accompany Moonfish is a cool climate Riesling; this will allow the flavours of the butter and Moonfish to not be overpowered.
