Orange Roughy is a deep-water species harvested at depths of up to 1,000 metres in the clean cold sub-antarctic waters of New Zealand's Exclusive Economic Zone in the South Pacific Ocean or from Sanford's international operations inside the economic zones of other countries.
Orange Roughy is one of New Zealand's larger fisheries and is harvested year-round on a sustainable yield basis.
This premium product is either rapidly iced or frozen-at-sea to retain its delicate fresh-caught flavour.
The white Orange Roughy fillet is individually layer-packed and then quick frozen in 10kg plastic interleaved shatterpacks that allow each fillet to be used without unpacking the whole carton.
Orange roughy has gained wide consumer acceptance, notably in the United States market, as a white fish fillet of exceptional and consistent flavour. The white skinless and de-boned fillets are of medium-firm texture and mild flavour. Orange roughy is suitable for most cooking methods. The fillets remain moist on cooking, hold shape and flake nicely on preparation.
