Description

Caught along the sunlit Aegean coastline, Gilthead Bream has been cherished in Mediterranean kitchens since antiquity. Ancient Greeks considered it sacred to Aphrodite, and modern chefs still prize its beauty and taste.

This species boasts a balanced flavor — neither too oily nor too lean — allowing herbs like thyme, oregano, and dill to shine when grilled. The skin crisps beautifully while the flesh remains moist and aromatic.

Greek cuisine embraces minimalism with Gilthead Bream: salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon, and charcoal. But it also adapts well to modern techniques, like en papillote or sous-vide.

It’s rich in phosphorus, selenium, and high-quality protein, supporting both cognitive and cardiovascular health.

Beyond nutrition, it’s a visual and aromatic showpiece — often served whole and carved tableside for an authentic Mediterranean dining experience.
