Atlantic Butterfish are small silvery fishes of the family Stromateidae, often a couple to a pound. These fish school near the surface of the water and are often caught by fishermen targeting other species altogether. Don’t underestimate butterfish due to their small size, because they really bring in flavor. The name says it all: butterfish have a delicate, buttery flavor. Because of their small size, butterfish are almost exclusively sold whole. When preparing butterfish, we recommend keeping it simple with minimal ingredients and to either deep fry it or pan frying it.
