About Fish, scup, cooked, dry heat
Scup, widely known as porgy along the East Coast, is a small saltwater panfish common in Atlantic waters from Massachusetts to South Carolina. It is a favorite of both recreational anglers and commercial fishermen thanks to its abundance and its light, sweet, mild flavor. The flesh is tender and delicate, which makes scup a classic pan-fish in every sense, best enjoyed simply prepared. It is a lean source of protein and provides omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium with little fat.
Because the fish are on the small side and have a fair number of bones, they are usually cooked whole or as fillets by frying, broiling, grilling, or baking, often with nothing more than salt, lemon, and a dusting of flour to let the sweet meat shine. Crispy fried scup is a beloved regional treat. Look for bright-eyed, firm whole fish or fresh fillets, keep them cold, and cook scup soon after buying for the best flavor.
