Also known as “Striped Porgy” due to the stripes that alternate on its back, in red tones, pink and white tones. It is a rare porgy on Portuguese coast, finding it exclusively on the Algarve coast. But it is the chosen one by our brothers, the Spanish. Similarly, to the other porgies, it should be cooked whole in the oven to better express its characteristic and gastronomic potential.
