Golden Tilefish
Wild Caught · Gulf Coast USA · Frozen Fresh
$17.50 / per package (5-7oz)
Product Details
Golden tilefish. One of the Gulf's most prized and least-known fish. Golden tilefish burrow in clay bottom at 600 to 1,500 feet depth — a unique habitat that shapes everything about how they eat and taste. Federally managed under IFQ quota, caught hook and line by commercial captains working the Gulf's outer shelf. Processed, vacuum sealed, and frozen to -5°F — all within 48 hours of the fish hitting the dock. Frozen Fresh.
Flavor & Texture
Firm, snow-white flesh with a distinctly sweet, shellfish-forward flavor — a direct reflection of the crabs and shrimp in its diet. Often compared to lobster or crab in richness without the cost. Excellent pan-seared or baked in the oven, and rich enough that it needs nothing more than butter and lemon.
Health Benefits
Golden tilefish is a lean protein powerhouse — approximately 22g protein per 3 oz serving. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, magnesium, and B12. Low in saturated fat. The selenium content in particular makes it one of the more nutritionally complete fish available.
What You Receive
Wild caught golden tilefish, vacuum sealed in individual fillets and sourced from federally managed U.S. Gulf waters, IFQ quota controlled. Packages run 5–7 oz, targeted at 6 oz — a full adult serving, bigger than the FDA's recommended 4oz portion. Fillets come skin off.
Common Questions
How big are the portions?
Portions average between 5 and 7 oz. We aim for 6 oz every time, but because we hand-cut and portion every fish, hitting it exactly isn't always possible — and we never go below 5 oz.
The FDA's recommended serving size for fish is 4 oz. We felt that was a little small for a full meal, so we sized ours up by 50%. The result is a balanced, individually portioned meal.
How long can I keep it in my freezer?
For the best quality, we suggest eating within 6 months of purchase. That said, our fish holds excellent quality out to 12 months.
After 12 months it's still safe to eat, but the quality starts to degrade.
Is there a discount for buying in bulk?
Yes. One of the best parts of buying frozen is that it lets you stock your freezer.
Orders over $200 — use code GM200 for 10% off your entire order. Orders over $400 — use code GM400 for 15% off your entire order.
Are there bones in my fillet?
Every fish is hand-cut and portioned, and we remove the bones — pin bones included — as we go. Each fillet is inspected twice before it's packed.
Even so, a small bone slips through now and then. It happens with hand-cut wild fish, so give each fillet a quick check before cooking.
Why Frozen Is Actually Fresher
Frozen Within 48 Hours
Most grocery store fish is 7–10 days old before it hits the counter. Ours is processed and frozen within 48 hours of the fish hitting the dock.
Locks In Nutrition
Flash freezing preserves the omega-3s, protein, and flavor that degrade in fresh fish over time.
Better Than “Fresh”
In seafood, “fresh” often means never frozen but days old. Frozen right means genuinely fresh.
