I'm a huge fan of Cajun cooking, especially blackened and pan fried fish. Pacu is perfect for these styles. The fish is already very creamy and buttery when cooked normally, but fry it in butter on cast iron after giving it a liberal helping of Blackened Redfish Magic, and holy wow. It's like being transported to the deep south, only instead of bottom feeding trash fish like catfish, we have the plant eating cousin of the piraña.
The batch I received was extremely fresh, with not even a bit of bad fishy smell after the defrost. No bones of note found in the fillets. Skin was properly descaled and had a very nice thin layer of fat. Phenomenal.
I'll buy it again.
