Lian Fresh Persian Gulf Flatfish (Flounder / Sole / Kafshak)

Flatfish is among the easiest marine fish to dress. By making a small shallow incision at the caudal base, both upper dark and lower white skins can be stripped off manually in a continuous pull like a glove. Running a flexible fillet knife along the flat central spine yields two pristine, bone-free fillets with virtually zero kitchen labor overhead.

The net recovery rate for skinless, boneless double fillets averages between 50% and 54% of gross weight. If procured as whole gutted fish with skin on, processing loss remains remarkably low (under 10%), since viscera are concentrated in a tiny pocket immediately adjacent to the gill cover.

The minimum order quantity for wholesale deliveries is 30 kg (1 to 2 standard insulated EPS boxes). For consignments exceeding 100 kg, narrow size-grading calibrations (such as 250-350g single-serve banquet plates) are accommodated without surcharges.

Flatfish meat features very short muscle fibers that digest effortlessly, combined with a total absence of dangerous hairline bones, rendering it an absolute staple for clinical nutrition, pediatric menus, and eldercare facilities. In fine dining, it forms the classic foundation for pan-fried Sole Meunière, lemon-butter sautés, and crispy breaded fillets.

Yes; Lian operates dedicated clean-room processing lines capable of manual or mechanical skinning, chilled ozonated rinsing, and vacuum packaging into 2 kg to 5 kg food-grade barrier bags. This cuts customer kitchen preparation time to zero and optimizes refrigeration storage space.

To prevent dehydration under refrigerated air flows and eliminate waterlogging from melting ice, Lian utilizes specialized food-grade absorption mats beneath impermeable polymeric covers. The flatfish remains encapsulated in an insulated humid micro-environment held steadily at 1°C.

Wholesale flatfish rates adjust based on demersal seasonal landings (offering optimal price efficiency during autumn and winter). All orders are accompanied by official registered corporate tax invoices. Recurring contracted institutional partners qualify for short-term structured credit settlement arrangements.
