Black Oreo Dory have a very dark brown, grey/black body with black fins. They have small, firm scales that cannot be dislodged. Their body is wide with a moderate to large head that is thicker than their body, and a very large, green eye.
Belonging to the Oreosomatidae family (Oreos), black oreo dory are caught in waters south of New Zealand, at depths of 600 to over 1000 meters.
Their flesh is firm, white and does not flake easily, making it suitable for most cooking methods as the fillets hold together well.
Black Oreo is a good source of Selenium; and a source of Iodine, Phosphorus, Potassium, Niacin (vitamin B3) and Vitamin B12.
