One farmed Nile perch fillet, 350–500g. Nile perch (Lates niloticus) is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, native to the deep slow-flowing waters of African lakes and rivers. The fillet has a creamy, medium-firm, light pink flesh similar in feel to a fish steak, with a rich complex flavour carrying notes of citrus and tropical fruit. Naturally rich in Omega-3, minerals and vitamin D.
