If ever a seafood species was in need of renaming it’s undoubtedly the meagre – a word that's synonymous with something that’s lacking in quantity or quality. While its alternative name, corvina, might be more seductive it’s still a fairly obscure fish, so it’s probably fortunate that Seaentia is planning to grow a relatively modest 700 tonnes of them at their soon-to-be constructed RAS facility in Portugal. Should farming this high value fish really take off, as Seaentia’s founders believe, then it will be interesting to see how the gastronomic branding gurus spin it. But my suggestion would be to keep the word meagre firmly off the menu, at least in the English speaking world.
