Golden Pomfret

Overview

Product Overview

Golden Pomfret (Trachinotus blochii) is a premium farmed marine fish prized for its tender white flesh, mild sweet flavor, and attractive golden appearance. Our Golden Pomfret is sustainably farmed in marine aquaculture operations along China's southern coast (Guangdong, Fujian, Hainan), processed in HACCP-certified facilities, and quick-frozen to preserve its exceptional quality.

This species is extremely popular in Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines —ideal for steaming, pan-frying, grilling, and hot pot. Its consistent sizing, attractive appearance, and excellent plate presentation make it a top choice for seafood restaurants, hotels, and premium retail channels. We offer whole round, gutted & scaled, and fillet formats.

With sustainable farming practices and year-round harvest availability, Hanxing Seafood delivers consistent quality Golden Pomfret for importers, distributors, and food service buyers worldwide.
