Há quem lhe chame o faisão do mar. Peixe achatado, que vive no fundo arenoso, e consegue despoletar ataques quase instantâneos à sua presa. Tal como o Linguado, é um peixe que permanece muito tempo quieto debaixo de areia. Esta tranquilidade, percebe-se na elegância do seu sabor e na sua carne branca. Se gosta de sabores mais fortes, não deixe de provar as barbatanas!

A sua pele vermelha e carne imaculadamente branca, faz deste peixe um dos ex-libris gastronómicos das nossas águas. Pouco sociável, as suas capturas são dispersas e ocasionais. À mesa, faz sucesso em cataplanas e caldeiradas, pois a firmeza da sua carne resiste bem à cozedura. O paladar? Há quem o compare à Lagosta.

The red mullet has a unique flavour, with a slight shellfish touch, that spends the day wandering through the bottoms of the seas in search for small crustaceans, small fish and marine vegetables. The red mullets we select for you are captured by small boats, with net resources, along the Algarve area. To take greater advantage of this fish, grill it whole, as if it was a sardine, so the skin and scaled retain all juices and fat. Tipp: don’t forget to try the livers!
