Levrek — The King of the Mediterranean

Lean, bright and elegant — the European sea bass is the benchmark by which all Mediterranean fish are judged.

A crescent-shaped bream with a signature golden mark between the eyes — tender, succulent and a grill favourite.

Powerful, meaty and built for the open water — swordfish steaks are the steak of the sea.

A small crimson fish with delicate chin barbels and some of the sweetest flesh in the sea.

A muscular, fast-running pelagic giant — rich, ruby-red and built for the open sea.

A rosy reef-dweller with firm, sweet flesh and a beautiful blush-pink skin.

Clean, tender and quick to cook — squid is the cornerstone of any great meze table.

Sweet, snappy and endlessly versatile — Mediterranean shrimp cooked just until pink.

Tender, smoky and deeply savoury — properly cooked octopus is a highlight of any seafood table.

Cheap, sustainable and packed with flavour — the mussel is the working-class hero of the coast.
