Red porgy  (Pagrus pagrus)

This commercially important fish is named for the rosy tint to its fins and upperparts (2) (3). The red porgy has a shimmering silvery-white underside and rows of small blue spots pattern the upper body (3). It has a large head, with a distinctive sloping forehead, rather large eyes (2), and prominent teeth (3). Two blue streaks, one above and one below the eye (3), highlight the head, while the tail is edged in black and has white tips (2).
