Redfish Fillets

Van der Lee Seafish has two types of redfish available. The first one is the deepwater redfish, which is also known as Sebastes mentella. The second one is the rose fish, which is also known as Sebastes marinus and Sebastes norvegicus. We have deepwater redfish (Sebastes mentella) available at our ‘North Sea Fish’-page. Our redfish which is imported from China is mainly rose fish (Sebastes marinus).

Catching area

We have to import our redfish which is caught in the Pacific Ocean (FAO fishing area 67) from China since this is quite far away from the Netherlands. However, we can guarantee you that our imported redfish meets our high standards in terms of quality and food safety because we know our suppliers personally. As a supplier we sell our redfish fillets skinless and boneless. We also have crispy redfish fillets and crunchy redfish fillets available at our ‘Added Value’-page. Thereby, we also have redfish available which is caught by ourselves at our ‘North Sea Fish’-page.

Young rose fish have a brownish colour, but the adults have a more orange or reddish colour. The fish has a sweet and mild flavour with a moderately firm texture and its meat is lean, moist and flaky. One hundred grams of redfish fillets contain around 105 calories. The fillets also contain a lot of protein, just like every other fish. They contain a bit of monounsaturated fat too, which is a healthier fat compared to the other types of fat. Moreover, redfish fillets are also healthy because they contain vitamin B1 and vitamin C, which are important for the production of energy, carbohydrate metabolism and wound healing.

We mainly export our redfish fillets to the catering industry in Germany, Spain and Italy. However, we also export the fillets to some retailers in those countries. Redfish fillets are often eaten as a main dish. You can use the fillets for the barbecue or grill it. Blackened redfish fillets are also a popular dish. Blackening means that the fish is dipped in melted butter and then dredged in a mixture of herbs and spices. Just like the gilt-head sea bream, the fish is often served with spices or with lemon juice too. They can also be served with a salad or with some vegetables.
