Meagre
Argyrosomus regius
Overview
Meagre sustainability varies. Meagre sold restaurants or fishmongers is mostly farmed. Look for Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) or GLOBALG.A.P. certified options for the Best Choices. These standards address some of the environmental concerns. You are less likely to come across wild meagre. We don’t know much about wild populations and there is not much management in place to protect them.
