Branzino is the name of a fish more commonly known as the European seabass. It is known as branzino mostly in Northern Italy, while known as "spagolo" or "ragno" in other parts of the country. It is also marketed as mediterranean seabass, bronzini or branzini.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_seabass
The fish live primarily in oceans although sometimes are found in brackish or fresh water. The fish is a member of the Moronidae family, and its scientific name is Dicentrarchus labrax, named for the presence of two dorsal fins. The fish is the focus of conservation efforts in the United Kingdom and in the Republic of Ireland because of pressure from commercial fishing. In Italy, the seabass is intensively bred in salt waters.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_seabass
The fish was the main ingredient in the competition between Anthony Amoroso and Masaharu Morimoto on Iron Chef America in the episode "Battle Branzino." Amoroso won the competition.http://www.nj.com/entertainment/celebrities/index.ssf/2009/10/battle_branzino_anthony_amoros.html
