Broiled Porgy Parmesan recipe.
Porgy, also known as sea bream or scup, is a lean fish with a coarse texture and delicate flavor, consisting of a large family of fish found in temperate and tropical waters all over the world. Porgy has a lot of small bones, so when selecting, it is best to buy larger specimens because they have a better meat to bone ratio, making the bones easier to remove. Gilthead bream weigh about 2 pounds and are always sold whole. They have firm, succulent flesh with excellent flavor. Red sea bream meat is rosy when raw but turns white when cooked; it is moist with rich, sweet flavor and firm but tender texture. Scup usualy averaging 1 pound or less; they have delicious lean and flaky flesh, but also contain many bones, which makes them difficult to fillet. They should be scaled and dressed before cooking, or large ones can be filleted. Red porgy have white, tender meat with large flake and mild, sweet, but satisfying flavor, though its numerous small bones make it hard to fillet. Sheepshead porgy have always been highly regarded as food and are pan-fried in the American South. The fat-bodied Northern porgy have firm, flaky flesh, though it is quite bony. The plump, golden-silver Jolthead porgy are delicious and beautiful fish.
