Its dorsal fins in the shape of a rooster crest, gave its name in Portugal, the “Rooster fish”. But internationally it is known as Petersfish, referring to the biblical legend. It is a fish with very white meat, with two reproductive cycles per year, being often caught full of big roe. Ideal for filets, its use in the French kitchen brought with it a great gastronomic reputation. At home we suggest doing some breaded filets.
