The Australasian snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) or silver seabream is a species of porgie found in coastal waters of Australia, Philippines, Indonesia, mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and New Zealand. Its distribution areas in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are disjunct.[2] Although it is almost universally known in Australia and New Zealand as snapper, it does not belong to the snapper family, Lutjanidae. It is highly prized as an eating fish, with a sweet sea taste and a firm texture.
Bream are found in shallow tropical and sub-tropical waters all over the world; their family, Sparidae, is large, with over 125 species. Commonly called Sea Bream to distinguish them from the European freshwater Bream, they’re also known as porgies in North America. A number of species are found in the Mediterranean, with Dentex (Dentex dentex) and Gilt-head Bream (Sparus aurata) being particularly popular on menus and in recipes in Italy, Spain, and southern France. Gilt-head Bream is generally known by a name that refers to the golden markings on its head, such as ‘Dorada’ in Spanish and ‘Orata’ in Italian, while Bream’s English name may come from the Old English ‘breme’, meaning fierce or energetic.
