Gilt-head bream is a silvery, deep-bodied fish named for the gold band between its eyes. This one is farmed, and farmed bream is widely raised in the Mediterranean, which keeps it in steady supply.
The flesh is white, sweet and moist, with a firm flake, and a single fish makes a neat portion for one. Bream is a favourite for cooking whole, because the skin crisps well and the bones lift out easily once it is cooked.
