Description
The scup (Stenotomus chrysops) is a marine fish from the Atlantic. It usually lives and feeds near shore during warmer months and goes further out during winter and for spawning season. Scup are popular panfish so both commercial and recreational catches are regulated to prevent overfishing. The fish is popular in fried, baked, and broiled recipes, despite the risk it carries for ciguatera poisoning.
