We have a special treat for you this week – “Blanquillo”, or Ocean Whitefish, aka Caulolatilus princeps. The local storms mean there are no local fillets, so we're especially happy to source this Southern California treat. Your fish came in from F/V Circle Hook off of Newport Beach, CA. Blanquillo seldom shows up in our area, and are a favorite of many Southern California fishermen, so I leapt at the opportunity. Similar to rockfish, this is an important species for artisanal fishermen in Mexico, where it is very popular and known as “blanquillo.” Be sure to check the info page for more fishery info!
