Raised in Tanks, Purged 21 Days
Before harvest the fish are moved to clean water and not fed. They empty their gut, burn off excess fat and release the compounds behind a muddy taste, leaving firmer flesh with a clean flavor.
A typical purge lasts 5 to 7 days. Phoenix Golden Tilapia is purged for 21 days.

How to Cook It
Eat it raw as yusheng or steam it whole; both show off the clean, sweet flesh.
- Preparing
- Scale, gill and gut the fish, rinse, and score the thick sides. There is no black lining to scrape.
- Raw
- It can be eaten raw. Try it Shunde-style yusheng: slice it paper-thin, top with shredded ginger, scallion, lime leaf and fried peanuts, then toss with oil and soy sauce. Or cut thicker slices and serve as sashimi with soy and wasabi.
- Steamed
- Steam a 750 g fish whole over boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, then finish with soy sauce, ginger and scallion.
- Hotpot
- Slice and cook until the flesh turns white; it stays firm.
- Pan-fried
- Sear both sides, then finish in a sauce.
