The coral trout has firm white flesh for excellent eating and is highly prized for its eating qualities. It is a handsome looking fish with colours ranging from light pink and red to dark crimson with blue spots. When excited, the skin of the coral trout throbs with a bright red colouration. The traditionally preparation of coral trout, steamed with ginger and spring onions, is truly memorable, but the flavour also lends itself to using a variety of additional ingredients.
