Parrot Fish

Description

Overview:

Parrotfish are colorful, reef-dwelling species found in the warm waters of Indonesia’s extensive coral reef systems. Known for their vibrant scales and beak-like teeth, these fish play a crucial role in maintaining the health of coral reefs by grazing on algae. In Indonesia, parrotfish are valued both for their ecological importance and as a unique seafood offering.

Product Characteristics:

• Appearance: Parrotfish are easily recognizable by their bright, multicolored scales, which can range from shades of green, blue, pink, and yellow. Their distinctive parrot-like beaks are adapted for scraping algae off coral.
• Flavor: Parrotfish flesh is white, firm, and lean, with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is considered a delicacy in many parts of Southeast Asia.
