Golden Corvina

Gillnet or hand-line caught. Ecuador.

While corvina is more available now than it was a decade ago, you probably won't find it at your local Jewel or Mariano's. It is a tasty, firm, and sweet fish, and to us it is special. If you like redfish, meagre, and seabass you will probably like corvina too.

Corvina is a generic name for a large number of fish in the Sciaenidae family, which includes both croakers and drum fish. (Those common names reflect the sounds each fish makes: Croakers croak while drum make a beating or drumming sound.)

You can prepare corvina in a number of ways: baked, broiled, grilled, and sautéed. Low to moderate mercury. Kosher.
