Black bream is a round, deep-bodied fish with silvery-grey skin marked by faint darker lines, found over rocky ground and reefs off the south and west coasts of Britain. It is caught by Cornish day boats and line fishers.
The white flesh is moist and sweet with a firm bite, and the skin crisps well in a hot pan. A whole bream is a neat single portion that is easy to cook and serve, which makes it a popular choice for barbecues and simple suppers.

Chef's tip
Pat the skin completely dry before cooking so it crisps instead of sticking to the pan or grill.
