Swimming Cobia in Seven Seas Tank
Catching Fish with Edward Shen, Steven Stone and Steve Werts from Virginia Cobia Farms
The first time I ever tried "Cobia" fish (海鱺魚) was in 1994 at the International Boston Seafood Show. A native Taiwan seafood company was distributing sashimi Cobia pieces.
Edward (my husband) and I both were surprised at the taste and quality of the fish. I still remember the sweet taste of Cobia fish then. Not until March this year Seven Seas started to carry live Cobia fish from Virginia Cobia Farms. I was surprised again because the Cobia in Seven Seas tank was 40 pounds smaller than the frozen Cobia fish in Boston. The version of the steamed live Cobia was amazingly delicious with its firm texture and excellent flavor. I was convinced that I want to promote the awareness of this Cobia fish.
Besides the good taste, Cobia contains higher omega 3 Fatty Acid than other white fish such as Cod, Haddock, Halibut and Tilapia. Cobia is a one of a kind fish. Rated "Best Choice" for sustainability and other facts as : No Contamination, No Radiation, No Hormones, No Mercury, No Dye and all natural vegetarian diet. Ounce for ounce great source of protein. Try it steamed or garlic braised. Seven Seas is the only restaurant in DC/MD/VA metropolitan area that serves live fresh "Cobia" fish.
