Recipes Using Whole Fillets

The recipes below all start with whole fillets. Local fillets may come fresh or frozen - frozen fish is still super fresh. It is processed and frozen almost immediately after being landed. Simply thaw it and cook it as you would a fresh fillet.

Remember, you can substitute one species for another in any of these recipes. Maine groundfish are very versatile and all cook similarly. If it calls for pollock and you have hake or flounder, use it!
