Enter any seafood restaurant during your stay in Cairns and you are likely to find Coral Trout on the menu. Coral trouts are among the most sought-after reef fishes for their impressive appearance and fine eating qualities.
Their delicate flavour and fine, white flakes appeal to most. Bake, steam, poach or grill, but avoid handling them too much as their delicate flakes can be easily damaged.
Enrich with an abundance of citrus, light butter sauces, parsley and chives. The cheek flesh from coral trouts is very highly regarded and should not be wasted.
