Pan-fried Gilthead Bream

Gilthead bream is a very tasty fish. It is no sense adding anything else to it. In Italy, they add a little parsley, sometimes a bit garlic and lemon at most.
Since the fish is not large, it is prepared whole.
The chef’s task is to retain moisture and not to spoil the natural taste.

White wine is well suited to gilthead bream. It refreshes and emphasizes its taste.
