Sea Bream

Gilthead bream, named after the little gold bar on their forehead, with a metallic sheen and chunky profile, the gilthead bream is a beauty of a fish.

Gilthead bream are predatory coastal fish found in estuaries and bays, growing to lengths of 70cm, and can live for as long as 11 years. Interestingly, these fish start life as males and change sex at about three years of age. With dense, juicy white flesh, sea bream  have a meaty texture, a clean taste and a delicate flavour. Great fried, grilled or steamed. We recommend pan frying in butter then add one of our flavoured butters to the pan and baste.
