Dorsal

Bream fillet is a side of flesh lifted from the frame—the most convenient cooking form. It shows mild sweet white flesh with fine flakes; clean marine or freshwater taste by species. Dorsal meat sits along the top line, firm and lean. Skin may be left on for crisping or removed for delicate poaching. Pan-fry, grill, bake, or steam until just opaque; overcooking dries lean fish quickly. Season simply with salt, citrus, herbs, or butter sauce. Check for remaining pin bones before service.
