The Threadfin Salmon yields thick, sizeable and essentially boneless fillets. Threadfin Salmons are excellent eating when cooked in a wide variety of ways. Their firm flesh and large flakes make them absolutely ideal for barbecuing or grilling in steaks, cutlets or fillets, depending on size and variety. The flakes can also be carefully separated after grilling to enhance presentation. Threadfin Salmon is a tropical fish that absorbs the flavour of other ingredients. Its exceptional flavour need to be accompanied by a wine that matches highly flavoured dishes.  A light-bodied red made in the Beaujolais style would complement the dish perfectly.
