Fish
Steak
Steak of Tope is a cross-cut through the body, often bone-in, thick enough for the grill. Dense flesh holds together better than soft thin fillets. Brown the exterior as the centre just turns opaque. Keep tope steak iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Frying, grilling, and curries suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense mild white flesh.
