Ah, the humble blue grenadier, Australia's seafood bargain bin darling. It's cheap because it's caught in vast quantities off the southern coasts, making supply plentiful and prices drop like a stone. Also, it’s a white fish with a mild flavour that doesn’t demand top dollar like snapper or kingfish. However, its flaky texture and relatively low oil content mean it’s not winning any gourmet awards either. Plus, the fish is often processed and frozen, which keeps costs down but might leave connoisseurs underwhelmed. If you’re looking for affordable fish ‘n chips, this is your mate.
