The red skin and the immaculate white meat make this fish one of the gastronomic ex-libris of our waters. Very unsocial, its captures are scattered and occasional. At the table, it is a success in cataplanas and fish soups, due to the firmness of the meat that resists very well the cooking process. The taste? Some compare it to the Spiny Lobster.
