{"title":"Sea bream","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea bream is a firm white fish with sweet flesh and skin that crisps well, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sea-bream-wild\"\u003esold whole or as fillets\u003c\/a\u003e. We prepare gilthead and black bream to order at the counter, scaled and gutted whole for roasting or filleted and pin-boned for the pan. Priced by weight, scaled, filleted and pin-boned by hand at no charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea bream is the whole fish to roast when you want crisp skin and sweet firm flesh with very little effort. It holds its shape, its skin crisps in a hot oven or pan, and one fish serves one person well with lemon, fennel and olive oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it tastes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet, clean and firm, with a moderate flake that holds together well. The skin is a feature, it crisps to a thin crackle over the moist flesh underneath. Gilthead bream is a touch richer and black bream a little firmer, both mild enough to take Mediterranean flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to cook it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/whole-roast-bream\"\u003eRoast a whole fish\u003c\/a\u003e at 200C, pan-fry fillets skin-side first for a crisp skin, grill or barbecue a whole scored fish, or bake it in a salt crust. Score the skin of a whole fish and season it inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes with it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLemon, fennel, thyme and olive oil. Tomatoes, olives and capers. Roast new potatoes and a green salad, or a herb and garlic dressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long it takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA whole bream roasts in 20 to 25 minutes, fillets pan-fry in 3 to 4 minutes skin-side then a minute on the flesh, and a whole fish grills or barbecues in 12 to 15 minutes. Times vary with size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea bream is high in protein and fairly lean. A typical fillet carries around 18 to 20 grams of protein. It carries some omega 3, more than a very lean white fish though less than salmon or mackerel, along with B vitamins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSustainability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk at the counter for the day's sourcing.

Both roast whole well and crisp their skin. We prepare either at the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I get crispy skin on sea bream?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry the skin, score it, season it and cook it skin-side down in a hot pan or skin-side up in a hot oven. Do not move it until the skin has crisped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I roast sea bream whole or filleted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole roasting keeps it moist and gives the crispest skin, and one fish is a single serving. Fillets are quicker and easy to serve. We prepare it either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat goes with sea bream?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLemon, fennel, thyme, olive oil, tomatoes and olives all suit its sweet firm flesh, which is why it sits so well in Mediterranean dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I barbecue sea bream?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
