Belly

Arctic Char belly is the richer ventral strip—oilier than the loin, with moderate, even marbling in farmed fish. It browns well and stays moist under high heat. Grill, confit in oil, or slice for rich crudo if grade allows. Treat like premium trout/salmon hybrid—keep moist, skin crisps well. Yield is limited compared with loin.
