Bronzino

[Anonymous]

Would like to grill some bronzino this weekend. Any places in NW DC or Bethesda where I can pick up some for a decent price.

If you're referring to the fish, it's called "branzino."

To be accurate it can be spelled both ways but thanks anyway.

The European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax, is a primarily ocean-going fish that sometimes enters brackish and fresh waters. It is also known as the sea dace. Highly regarded as a table fish, it is often marketed as Mediterranean seabass, loup de mer, robalo, lubina, spigola, branzino, branzini, bronzino, or bronzini.

Well, Balducci's and River Falls Seafood Market usually carry it, and it's always been fresh and excellent at both. Don't know if you'd call the prices decent though...

I've seen it at BlackSalt but ditto about pricing.

I saw it at Giant in the frozen fish section.
