Sheepshead is a regionally named marine fish with pale, relatively firm flesh, sold whole or as portions and commonly baked, grilled or pan-cooked.
About Sheepshead
Sheepshead is a marine fish commonly known by that name along parts of the Atlantic coast of North America. It has a deep, laterally compressed body with dark vertical bars and prominent front teeth; the edible flesh is pale and relatively firm when cooked.
The fish may be sold whole, as dressed portions, or as fillets, and is cooked by methods such as baking, grilling, or pan-cooking. Its flavour is generally mild, while texture varies with freshness, cut, and cooking. The common name can be used regionally for other fish, so the exact species is not guaranteed by the name alone.
