Scup, Raw

EverydayRaw

Scup (commonly called porgy) is a lean saltwater fish native to North Atlantic waters, prized for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and tender, flaky texture when cooked. This low-fat fish provides a high-quality protein source rich in selenium and B vitamins, with a versatility that suits grilling, baking, or pan-searing. As a sustainable seafood choice, scup is increasingly featured in coastal cuisine but should be checked for regional advisories regarding mercury content.
