Orata, also known as gilthead sea bream, is a prized Mediterranean fish renowned for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and tender white flesh. Native to Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic waters, it is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, often grilled, baked, or steamed with olive oil, herbs, and citrus. Nutritionally, orata is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12 and D, which support brain health, heart health, and immune function. It is also rich in minerals like selenium and phosphorus. Low in saturated fat, orata is ideal for balanced diets and supports cardiovascular health. However, as a fish, it should be consumed in moderation due to potential mercury levels, though orata typically has lower concentrations compared to larger fish. Its versatility and nutrient-dense profile make it a wholesome, flavorful choice for health-conscious meals.
