Butterfly Pangasius – The Art of Vietnamese Seafood Processing of Portion, Butterfly Cut Pangasius

Elegant Cutting – Shaped Like Butterfly Wings

Butterfly Pangasius, part of Astra Aqua’s premium PPortion, Butterfly Cut Pangasius series, is produced with a special cutting technique – slicing the fish along the backbone while keeping the belly attached, creating a natural butterfly shape.
This unique presentation not only enhances visual appeal but also helps the fish cook evenly and absorb seasoning perfectly, making it ideal for grilled, pan-seared, teriyaki, or BBQ dishes.

This Vietnamese-style cut has gained strong popularity in Japan, the UK, Australia, and across Europe for its aesthetic appearance and premium culinary adaptability.

Carefully Selected Raw Materials

Each fish is chosen from GlobalG.A.P.-certified farms, weighing between 800g–1.5kg per fish, ensuring:

• White flesh with fine texture and low fat

• No muddy odor or off-flavor

• Firm structure that remains stable after freezing

Processing Procedure

• Cleaned and butterflied manually by skilled technicians.

• Backbone removed for a completely boneless product.

• Rinsed with cold water and IQF frozen at -40°C to preserve freshness.
