Coral Bream has a sweet distinctive taste that should not be accompanied by overpowering flavours. Consider flavours such as capers, citrus, garlic, parsley or ginger and it is best grilled, pan fried or baked whole. A fruit based, less acidic wine is perfect to accompany the sweet taste of the Bream.
