Mures Fishing in Cambridge has a team of expert filleters who ensure the highest possible recovery from whole fish to fillet. We also have a variety of sustainable practices to ensure minimal (if any) wastage. Here’s a little look at our seafood usage for some of our most popular products:
Blue Eye Trevalla
We sell our fillets with the skin on or off. Mures Upper Deck utilises Blue Eye skin to create crackling for certain dishes served in the restaurant.
Blue Eye wings (the collar & fin section of the fish). This is often discarded but are frequently served in Mures Lower Deck. These wings have succulent, tender flesh and, once fried, crispy fins (yes, you can also eat the fins!)
All Blue Eye frames are kept to make our Fish Soups and Stocks which are very popular with our customers. We need the frame of every Blue Eye filleted to meet our soup volume demand!
Pink Ling
The main fillet is very versatile, and completely boneless.
We often serve Pink Ling Cheeks on our menu in Mures Lower Deck. These small medallions of meat are very tender and delicious. They are frequently available to purchase through Mures Fishmongers.
Pink Ling bladders (the swim bladder of the fish) are recovered and sold on to be dried and used in a variety of different products.
Atlantic Salmon
Fish is mostly filleted with the skin on as it captures so much of the flavour.
Salmon skin is also used to make crackling for dishes in Mures Upper Deck.
Meat from the remaining frames is scraped off and used for ‘salmon mince’ which is sold through our Fishmongers and used in Fish Cakes and the Seafood Chowder in Mures Lower Deck.
Our Smoked Salmon is produced in-house and the off cuts go into our Terrine and Roulade Gourmet Products.
Oysters
Shucked oyster shell lids are put into gardens and landscaping.
Other Fish Species
We keep the heads and frames of a variety of fish species to use as cray bait for local recreational fishermen and are also sold to locals to make their own fish-stocks.
Mures Gourmet Products
We offer our own range of Tasmanian gourmet seafood products, which include traditional smoked salmon and trout, pate, terrines, sauces, soups and a range of European-style delicacies. This range was originally created to make better use of the entire fish, minimising wastage.
Our wonderful team Mures Fishing are always constantly looking for more ways to maximise the potential of our seafood.
