Silver Warehouse have a blue-grey back fading to a silvery-white belly, with a dark head that extends towards the dorsal fin. They have a dark blotch above the pectoral fin and blackish spots on the mid belly. They differ from other Warehou species with their slender shape and pitted skin.
Members of the Centrolophidae family (raftfishes, medusafishes), they live off the shelf edge and the upper slope at 200 to 500 metres. A schooling fish, major concentrations are found off both coasts of the South Island (extending south to the Auckland Islands) and on the Chatham Rise.
They have firm white flesh and high fat content, which holds its shape when cooked. Suitable for all types of cooking
