Specia rară, originară din Pacific, care a ajuns în apele litoralului românesc. Un kilogram costă 63 de lei

The Korean rockfish, a rare species from the Pacific, is increasingly found in the Romanian Black Sea, adapting well to local conditions. Fishermen report catching it more frequently, with some specimens already showing signs of reproduction. This fish, which can weigh up to 3 kg, is considered a delicacy in its native country and is priced at 63 lei per kilogram. Experts attribute its presence to climate change, which has warmed the waters and allowed various non-native species to thrive. The rockfish's robust nature makes it a potential top predator in the Black Sea ecosystem. Local restaurants are considering adding it to their menus due to its nutritional benefits and appeal to tourists.
