Meagre Fish, known scientifically as Argyrosomus regius, is a marine fish from the Sciaenidae family. Its substantial white flesh has a firm bite and mild flavour, so it works particularly well in recipes where the fish needs to remain intact during cooking.
The Arabic product reference used here is سمك الميغر. Wild meagre associated with Mediterranean fisheries falls within FAO Fishing Area 37, while farmed meagre is also available.
Fresh Meagre Fish should show clear eyes, shiny skin and firm flesh when properly chilled. The fish can contain a central bone and smaller pin bones, so careful preparation is recommended before serving children.
• Picked for firm flesh: Meagre is selected for its substantial texture, which helps fillets and portions hold together during grilling and baking.
• Prepared when you order: Fresh Fish Dubai keeps the product live and fresh rather than pre cooked or pre packed. The fish is hand picked, cleaned and cut to order.
• Chilled at 0 to 4°C: Meagre is stored and transported under refrigerated conditions to help protect its firm texture and freshness until delivery.
