É o besugo da profundidade. Em Itália e chamado de Grandiocchi, devido ao tamanho dos seus olhos para ver na escuridão onde habita. É pescado à linha entre os 150 e os 400 metros de profundidade. Na costa continental, encontramo-lo na zona de Sagres, Sesimbra e Peniche, sendo necessário navegar muitas milhas para chegar até aos melhores pesqueiros. Contudo, mais de 80% da sua quota de pesca é proveniente dos Açores. Sublime no forno para aquecer os dias mais frios, ou escalado e grelhado nos dias mais quentes e solarengos.

When it’s about seasonality, here is a good example! It feeds around the submarine peaks, frequent in the Azores Archipelago. On the mainland, it appears sporadically in the Berlengas or other rocky depths in Peniche or the Vicentina Coast. It is one of the best fish there is to be eaten raw. You can feel the perfume of the seaweeds present in its habitat, combined with fat that brings you greasiness and a firm texture, but soft. One delight, not always available!

In portuguese “Pig Fish” the name is related just to the sound that this fish produces, that is very similar to a swine. But instead of acorns this fish feed on sea urchins! The head and abdominal cavity of the Grey Triggerfish are quite big, making the edible part of the body (filets) just 20-25% of its weight. The great fisheries of this species occur during summer and autumn, in which the waters are warmer.
