Meagre is a deep sea water fish, but often found in shallow and rocky seabeds. It is native to the Mediterranean and it is similar in form to a European Sea Bass, with a pearly-silver colouration and a yellow-coloured mouth, giving it the alternate name "Golden Mouth" or "Bocca d' Oro" in Italian Length can range from 40 centimeters to 2 meters long, with weights up to 55 kilogrammes. Opposed to the totally black coulour that occurs on the Atlantic Meagre, the Adriatic populations are shiny with a bronze-dark brown tint. Its popularity worldwide is increasing since it is gifted with a delicate clean flavour suitable for various recipes and has a firm texture that can be cooked nicely.
