Brotola Pink Cusk-Eel (Genypterus blacodes)

Introduction: A Deep-Water Delicacy with Supreme Texture

Discover the unique culinary potential of Pink Cusk-Eel (Genypterus blacodes), known locally as Brotola. This deep-water species thrives in the dark, cold depths off the Chilean coast. Consequently, it develops an exceptionally firm, lean, and boneless flesh that is snow-white after cooking. Unlike flakier whitefish, the Pink Cusk-Eel holds its shape perfectly under high heat. Therefore, it is a chef’s secret for demanding applications. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor makes it a versatile canvas for bold sauces and delicate broths alike.

We specialize in harvesting this deep-water treasure with care. Our fishermen use sustainable longline methods to bring the Brotola Pink Cusk-Eel from its deep-sea habitat. We then process the catch with precision, focusing on preserving its unique texture. Our skilled team expertly fillets the fish, removing the skin and ensuring a pristine, boneless product.

Next, we employ an Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) process. This rapid freezing locks in the fresh-caught moisture and firm texture. Moreover, it prevents the flesh from becoming tough or dry. As a result, you receive a superior product that performs consistently, thaw after thaw.

Culinary Profile and Versatile Applications

The Pink Cusk-Eel is renowned for its robust, firm flake and clean taste. It stands up to grilling, stewing, and frying without falling apart.
