This Hawaiian yellowfin tuna is also available as an add-on for meat-centric dishes, such as beef short ribs, beef tenderloin rigatoni and chicken dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operators are menuing haddock, a cod-like, high-protein fish, for its thick and flavourful meat. It appears mainly in fish and chips and soups, but it\u2019s also spotlighted in tacos and burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a more premium option, operators are turning to sablefish, also known as black cod. This buttery and protein-heavy deep-sea fish is popular in tasting menus and sushi rolls. For a contemporary, umami-driven take, operators are marinating sablefish in miso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quinnat, or Chinook salmon, is also popping up across menus. Similar to sablefish, this option is most often plated on tasting menus and seafood platters or towers, either raw or grilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tilapia, a milder and leaner fish, often appears in tacos, curries and sushi rolls. Preparation styles for this fish varietal are wide-ranging, from frying to grilling to torching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-3-1024x468.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13761\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9892,"template":"","menu_author":[523],"menu-category":[519],"menu-tag":[486,476],"class_list":["post-9890","menu","type-menu","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","menu_author-technomic","menu-category-data-trends","menu-tag-back-of-house","menu-tag-trends"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
