Product profile
Paiche is a large Amazonian freshwater fish with firm white flesh, mild and elegant flavour, and exceptional cooking stability. It performs across a wide range of preparations without losing texture or moisture, which makes a real difference in both high-volume and refined kitchen environments.
The combination of thick fillets, clean flavour, and strong plate presence makes it commercially relevant for menus that need to differentiate from standard imported white fish alternatives.
