Rubyfish have a dark pink head, body and fins. They are silver on their sides and are paler on the underside. They can grow to a maximum length of 58cm.
This very long-lived (90 years or more), slow growing fish is found in mid-to-deepwater, and in New Zealand Rubyfish prefer the warmer northern and central waters.
Rubyfish are members of the Emmelichthyidae family and live at depths from 50-800 meters, but are most commonly found around 300 meters.
With a firm fillet texture that holds its shape when cooked, Ruby Fish is perfect to use in any recipe that calls for poaching, smoking, steaming, baking or frying.
