What is Branzino?
Branzino is a mild white fish that is often roasted whole and served with lemon in Italian food. The fish, also called European bass, is showing up on menus worldwide because of chefs and diners like the sweet, flaky meat. Branzino is one of six species in the family Moronidae, and this family also has white perch, yellow bass, white bass, and striped bass. Some fish live in freshwater, while others live in the Atlantic Ocean, and one species moves back and forth between the two types of water.
