Description

Sea robins have firm white flesh that many anglers overlook, but it's good in soups and stews and works well in fish stock or a bouillabaisse-style dish. The fillets are small but tasty.

Sea robins (family Triglidae) are bottom-dwelling marine fish of the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific, named for their large, wing-like pectoral fins. They live on sandy bottoms in shallow water, mostly in temperate regions.

Warnings & Kosher Issues

Kosher. Sea robins have fins and scales.
They have sharp spines and bony heads, so handle them carefully when cleaning. That's a handling note, not a kosher issue.
