Red Bream (Pagellus bogaraveo)
The most common native member of the Sparidae family , reaching a maximum of 60cm, found in the Bay of Biscay northwards.
It differs from the culinarily-superior Sea Bream (French Daurade) by having a more sloping forehead and very large eyes.
However, its flesh is still good and can be poached, stuffed or baked.
