The white seabream (Diplodus sargus) is a very common marine fish along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. They inhabit shallow rocky and gravel bottoms, between two and fifty metres deep, although they come close to beaches and harbours to feed.
Their silvery-grey, oval and laterally compressed body can measure up to 45 cm in length and weigh 2 kg. They have 8 to 12 vertical black bands on their sides, as well as a very pronounced black spot on the caudal peduncle.
The white seabream is a semi-fatty fish with a nutritional intake rich in polyunsaturated fats and vitamins (B3 and B12), essential sources of energy for the proper functioning of the nervous system.
Its meat is highly prized, it is a fish that feeds on molluscs and shellfish, preferably mussels, sea urchins and barnacles. It is delicious baked without disguising its flavour too much by seasoning it, but it is also eaten fried, grilled or barbecued.
