Fish

Ventral

Ventral fillet of Wahoo runs toward the belly—more fat and softer grain. Good for grilling and richer plates. As a ventral section of fillet, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep wahoo ventral iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque (or leave rare when quality allows for seared or raw service). Grilling, searing, poke, and smoking suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame large mild flake.
