Also known as moonfish for its large, round shape, this striking deep-water fish is valued by chefs for its rich flavor, firm texture, and impressive versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts naturally pink-to-orange flesh becomes white when cooked, remaining moist and substantial enough for high-heat preparations. The flavor is richer than many white fish, yet mild enough to pair with anything from citrus and fresh herbs to soy, ginger, and chili.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach portion is cut skinless and individually packaged at approximately 5.5 oz for an easy restaurant-quality meal at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Does Opah Taste Like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpah has a rich, clean flavor with a lightly sweet finish.

NOAA researchers identified it as the first fish known to circulate heated blood throughout its entire body, allowing it to remain active in cold, deep ocean waters. Its limited commercial availability also reflects the fact that opah is not commonly targeted in many fisheries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat unusual biology, combined with its vibrant appearance and distinctively rich flesh, makes opah one of the most interesting fish you can bring to the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Cook Opah\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpah can be prepared much like tuna, swordfish, or another firm fish steak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePan-Seared\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePat the portion dry and season with salt and pepper.
