The small ones are called “massacotes” and are fundamental in a good fish castor. The biggest axillary seabreams can have between 300-40 0g and can weight up to 400-600 g maximum. They are excellent for grilling and frying. Try this delicious recipe from Chef Bertílio Gomes!: Beans and “botagem” salad with fried Axillary seabreams.
