The Mysterious Antarctic and Patagonian Toothfish
Our line caught Toothfish are a high quality product with superior texture, colour and taste that have been processed and blast frozen immediately after coming on board. When our fish appear on your plate this prized delicacy has not been compromised.
Toothfish is considered a sustainable delicacy due to its pristine white, and tightly flaked flesh, it also has a rich healthy oil content. Its low catch numbers promote its sustainability but also increase its demand, for what is often referred to as “the white gold” or “wagyu of the sea”.
Not to judge a book by its cover, the toothy grin of the Toothfish, commonly markets as Chilean Sea Bass graces the menus of the most prestigious restaurants and seafood markets.
Patagonian Toothfish (dissostichus elegenoides) are large, slender fish with a wide head, big eyes and typically 1.2m long. The species can grow up to 95kg, reach maturity between 12-15 years and can live up to 50 years.
The Patagonian Toothfish can be found North of 60 degrees – as far as Argentina and Chile, preferring relatively warmer deep water, feeding on a variety of cephalopods, crustaceans and pelagic fish species.

Antarctic Toothfish (dissostichus mawsoni) are slightly larger than the Patagonian. They have the same distinctive protruding jaw set under a row of sharp upper teeth. The colour of their large, smooth scales ranges from black to olive brown. The species can grow up to 135kg and can live up to 12-15.
The Antarctic Toothfish can be found South of 60 degrees – into the more southern reaches of the Antarctic Ocean, preferring deep colder waters, feeding on a variety of cephalopods, crustaceans and pelagic fish species.
