Greek Sea Bream is the most popular Mediterranean fish in Europe. Its scientific name, ‘aurata’, derives from the gold bar marking between its eyes. This silver fish is full-flavored with firm white flesh.

Sea Bream is a highly versatile fish that can be prepared either whole or as fillets and served baked, grilled, fried, or steamed – or even used to prepare sashimi, sushi and ceviche.
