Kirkland Signature Fresh Wild Ocean Perch Fillet is a premium wild-caught seafood option sold by the pound at Costco. Ocean perch (Sebastes marinus) is a marine fish found in the North Atlantic, prized for its mild and slightly sweet flavor, moderately firm texture, and lean, moist, flaky flesh. The skin features a distinctive bright red-orange coloring that crisps up beautifully when seared.

These fresh fillets are never frozen, offering peak quality and flavor. Ocean perch is an excellent source of lean protein and contains beneficial nutrients including thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium, with minimal fat and no carbohydrates. Each serving of approximately 3 ounces provides around 75 calories and 13 grams of protein.

Ocean perch fillets are highly versatile in the kitchen. They can be pan-seared over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, grilled at 375°F for 9–12 minutes, or baked in a 400°F oven for 20–25 minutes. Always cook to an internal temperature of 145°F. The mild flavor pairs well with classic herbs, bold spices, and rubs, and the fillets can be substituted in recipes calling for snapper, striped bass, or rockfish.
