Tail Cut

Fish

Tail Cut

Tail-cut ling steak comes from the rear of the fish—smaller diameter, more bone-to-meat, and quicker to dry. Still fine eating in stews or careful grilling if not overcooked. Often priced below centre-cut steaks. Prefer moist methods or baste heavily on the grill. Good for one-person portions on smaller fish.
