Fresh Wild Hamour/ Suman

Nutritional benefits
Hamour delivers lean, complete protein, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety, plus marine fatty acids and minerals that contribute to cardiovascular and overall wellbeing.

Who should avoid / precautions

• Not for people with fish allergies.
  
• Larger reef fish can concentrate environmental contaminants; pregnant or breastfeeding persons and young children should follow local health guidance on portion frequency.
  

Cooking & usage suggestions

• Home: Thick fillets are excellent for pan-searing with lemon and herbs or oven-baking wrapped in foil to retain moisture.
  
• Traditional: Use in rich Gulf or South-Asian fish curries and slow tomato-based stews where the firm flesh holds up.
  
• Restaurant: Portion into large fillets or steaks for grills and banquet mains; bones make a flavourful stock.
  
• Pairings: Citrus, garlic, coriander, mild chillies, coconut milk, tamarind, and saffron rice.
  
• Chef tip: Score the skin slightly and pat dry before searing to achieve a crisp finish.
  

Storage suggestions

• Chilled: Store at 0–4°C; consume within 24–48 hours for peak quality.
  
• Frozen: Freeze at −18°C or below; vacuum-seal for best quality up to 3–6 months.
  
• Thawing: Thaw in refrigerator or under cold running water (sealed). Do not refreeze fully thawed fish.
  
• Safe handling: Use separate utensils/surfaces for raw fish and wash hands thoroughly after prep.

Is fresh wild hamour better than frozen in flavour and safety?

Fresh wild hamour offers peak texture and is ideal for same-day cooking; however, professionally frozen hamour that’s flash-frozen at sea retains much of its nutrition and can be a safe, convenient alternative. The key factor is strict cold-chain handling from catch to kitchen.

How do I tell if Hamour is fresh on delivery?

Fresh hamour should show firm flesh that springs back, bright skin sheen, clear (not cloudy) eyes on whole fish, and a mild sea aroma. Excessively soft flesh or sour odour indicates degradation.

Are there health concerns with eating hamour regularly?

Hamour is nutritious, but as with many reef species, larger specimens can accumulate higher levels of environmental contaminants. Vulnerable groups (pregnant people, breast-feeding parents, young children) should follow local public-health guidance on serving frequency and portion sizes.

What fillet yield can I expect from whole hamour?

Yield varies by size and preparation; whole wild hamour commonly yields roughly 40–60% of its live weight as usable fillet depending on trimming and whether skin-on or skin-off fillets are produced.
