Macruronus novaezelandiae

Size: To 115 cm and about 6 kg (commonly 60 – 100 cm and averages 1 – 3.5 kg).

Fishery: The largest catches of Blue Grenadier are made on the continental slope off Bass Straight and Tasmania.

Remarks: The very soft flesh of Blue Grenadier has a short shelf life and should be handled with care.

Fish Cuts: Sold as skin on fillets.
