Yellow Croaker

Micropogonias furnieri, commonly known as yellow croaker or whitemouth croaker, is a demersal fish widely found in the coastal regions of South America, especially in Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. With an elongated, silvery body, metallic reflections, and a well-defined lateral line, it is a species extensively harvested by both artisanal and industrial fisheries.

Corvina’s meat is white, tender, and mildly sweet, with a delicate flavor that appeals to a wide range of palates. Its soft texture and versatility make it a highly appreciated choice in cooking. In Brazil, it is commonly fried in steaks, forming a golden and crispy crust, or baked in the oven with herbs, garlic, and lemon to enhance its natural freshness. It is also a classic ingredient in moquecas and seafood stews, where it absorbs the rich flavors of bell peppers, tomatoes, and spices. Another popular method is grilling, ideal for lighter dishes served with citrus or butter-based sauces. Due to its mild flavor, corvina is also an excellent choice for raw dishes, such as ceviche.
