Fish

Loin

Arctic Char loin is the thick upper back muscle—the densest, most uniform section for steaks and searing. Expect orange-pink, fine flake, mild sweet salmonid character. This is the premium centre for high-heat cookery. Cut medallions or leave whole to roast. Treat like premium trout/salmon hybrid—keep moist, skin crisps well. Avoid cooking past the point where moisture leaves the grain; moderate, even marbling in farmed fish.
