Whole (Uncleaned) The fish is provided in its natural, whole state with the skin, scales, and internal organs intact.
- Best For: Customers who prefer traditional cleaning methods or for specialized slow-roasting techniques.

Whole and Gutted We professionally remove the internal organs and gills while maintaining the fish’s natural, streamlined shape.
- Best For: Elegant whole-fish presentations, oven-baking, or salt-crust roasting.
- Benefit: Cooking with the central bone intact helps distribute heat evenly and infuses the meat with a deeper, richer flavor profile.
Slices (Steaks) The Tittar is cut crosswise into thick, uniform, bone-in sections.
