Porgy, often called scup, has a slightly sweet, mild flavor with flaky white flesh. Porgy are found in the Atlantic waters from Maine to North Carolina. Loved by chefs for their amazing flavor and small size which makes them ideal for frying or baking whole.

  • U.S. wild-caught porgy is a smart seafood choice because it is sustainably managed and responsibly harvested under U.S. regulations.
  • According to the 2019 stock assessment for scup in the Mid-Atlantic and New England, porgy are not overfished and are not subject to overfishing.
  • Porgy is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
