About Orange roughy

Orange roughy is a deep-sea marine fish sold as food, commonly as skinless fillets or portions. Its flesh is pale and firm yet flakes after cooking, with a mild flavour. Raw flesh is typically light coloured; cooked flesh becomes opaque.

It is generally prepared by cooking the fillets, including baking, pan-cooking, or steaming. Sold forms may be fresh or frozen, whole or portioned, and can differ in retained moisture and processing. The name identifies a fish, not an orange-flavoured ingredient.
