Bronze Bream
A tier
Bronze bream is a colour-descriptive name for common bream with brassy flanks—ordinary Abramis brama in good condition, not a separate species. Flesh remains mild, soft-flaked, and bony; smoking and careful frying are still the best paths. Choose bright bronze fish from clean water for slightly better table reputation among anglers. Gut and ice immediately. A synonymic variety for market language rather than new biology.
