Rather like sea bass
Kirstie, Innerleithen - I tried this fish for the first time recently as I read that this is the best flavoured variety of bream. It certainly had a lovely flavour and is similar to small sea bass. I'd slightly give the edge to sea bass, but there's not a lot in it. The fillets come de-scaled and grill to perfection brushed with olive oil. I only grill the skin side of these small fish so as not to dry out the flesh and they cook very quickly without turning.
