Cardinal Fish (Epigonus telescopus) |   | | Common Name: | Cardinal Fish | | Scientific Name: | Epigonus telescopus | | Other Names: | Black Cardinal Fish, Big-eye Cardinal Fish (NZ), Tenjikudai, Yasemutsu (Japan), Apogon (France), Kardinalfisch (Germany), Pez Diablo (Spain). | | Family: | Apogonidae (cardinal fishes) | | Description: | Dark-coloured deepwater species (in contrast with the more common shallow water and bright red cardinal fishes of tropical and subtropical seas). Average length 40 – 70 cm. Dark brown with large, loose scales. | | Main Season: | Available all year round. | | Resource: | Present in deep oceans in many parts of the world. Widely distributed around New Zealand, apparently most common off the east coast of the North Island, in 300 – 800 m. Sometimes trawled on shallow parts of some orange roughy grounds, or while fishing for alfonsino near pinnacles. Probably only a small resource. | | Characteristics: | Flesh has a darker layer immediately under the skin and a darker strip running along the centre of the fillet. This darker meat is easily removed by deep skinning and trimming. The fillets are meaty, and range from 2 – 4 cm thick and whiten when they are cooked. Cooked fillets are moist and readily separate into substantial flakes. | | Common Packaging: (packaging may vary between vessels) | | HGT | Size graded, bulk packed, polylined cartons. | | | | | | | | | | Absolute Foods Ltd
