Anyone eaten orata?
Had this fish at a nice Italian restaurant in Brentwood, CA this past week. Roasted whole and done with minimal treatment.
It was really excellent and fortunately also cooked to perfection.

Taste was closer to a black sea bass than a scup. Not boney and not stringy. Great sweet and delicate meat.

A once considered mediteranean trash fish. Now a delicacy thanks to over fishing and depleted fish stocks.

likewise scup in Greece according to my Greek neighbor! |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
