Special Order Fish

Special order fish refers to a type of fish that is not regularly stocked or menued in a restaurant, but can be ordered specially for a customer upon request. The exact type of fish can vary depending on the restaurant and the location, as it often depends on the availability of fresh fish at the time.

Some common types of special order fish in US restaurants include:

1. Halibut: A mild-tasting fish with a firm texture, often served as a grilled or pan-seared entree.

2. Swordfish: A meaty fish with a slightly sweet flavor, often served as kebabs or steaks.

3. Tilapia: A mild-flavored fish with a soft texture, often served breaded and fried.

4. Mahi Mahi: A rich-tasting fish with a firm texture, often served as a grilled or pan-seared entree.

5. Opah: A mild-flavored fish with a buttery texture, often served as sashimi or sushi.

6. Sturgeon: A rich-tasting fish with a firm texture, often served as caviar or steaks.

7. Barramundi: A mild-tasting fish with a flaky texture, often served as a grilled or pan-seared entree.

These are just a few examples of special order fish you might find in US restaurants. If you're interested in trying something new, you might consider asking your server or the chef for recommendations on their freshest and tastiest catch of the day!
