Pacu is a unique fish raised in the post-harvest rice fields of the Paraná River system. As an omnivorous cousin of the piranha, Pacu feeds on leftover rice stalks, making it an incredibly sustainable option for our planet. Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it also has a clean, mild taste with a firm, flaky texture that’s easy to love. Plus, its naturally high-fat content keeps the meat juicy and flavorful.

Time your defrost process to a couple of hours before your meal for the optimal outcome.
