Fish

Ventral

Ventral fillet of Zander 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 zander ventral iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Pan-frying, poaching, and schnitzel fillets suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame firm sweet white flesh.
