Golden pomfret contains lots of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, very good for your heart and eye health. It's quite meaty, yet without any small bones. It's very convenient to dig in. It looks very different from the white or black pomfret.

The fish skin is golden in colour. The fish meat is quite thick. While pan-frying, golden pomfret will release some oil, just like salmon. Do give it more pan-frying time, for the fish skin to become very crunchy and fragrant.
