Hussar (often called Coral Sea Perch) is a very good eating reef fish and quite popular with many reef fishers.

Eating Qualities

  • Flesh: White, fine-grained and firm

  • Flavour: Mild, slightly sweet and very clean

  • Oil Content: Low to medium

  • Texture: Delicate but holds together nicely when cooked

Hussar has a lighter flavour than many larger reef species, making it great for people who don’t like strong fish. When fresh, the fillets are soft and delicate with a nice flake.

Best Ways to Cook

  • Pan-fried fillets

  • Whole baked or steamed

  • Lightly grilled

  • Beer battered or crumbed

Because they’re usually smaller fish, they’re excellent cooked whole or as smaller fillets. Properly iced and fresh from the reef, Hussar is a very clean, sweet-tasting table fish.
