Heard Island Mackerel Icefish

Wild-caught in the cold, clean sub-Antarctic waters around Heard Island, Australia's remote external territory in the Southern Ocean. Mackerel icefish is one of the few fish in the world without red blood, which gives it pale, almost translucent white flesh with a clean sea flavour and a firm, springy bite.

• Steam: steam with ginger and spring onion, then finish with soy sauce and hot oil.
• Braise: braise in soy, ginger and garlic, or in a light tomato sauce — the flesh holds together well.
• Deep-fry: coat in seasoned flour or tempura batter for a crisp snack.
