Iconic fish species of the Corsican coast
The waters off Calvi, L’Île-Rousse and Galéria are renowned for their richness and diversity. Thanks to his in-depth knowledge of the fishing spots in the Balagne region, Paul takes you to areas where iconic fish species can be encountered:
- Amberjack (Seriola): powerful and fast, it offers spectacular fights and remains one of the most sought-after fish in the Mediterranean.
- Dentex: an emblematic predator of rocky seabeds, prized for its strength and noble character.
- Scorpionfish (Chapon): a typical rock-dwelling fish of Corsica, easily recognizable by its deep red color.
- Red mullet: bottom-dwelling fish highly appreciated for the delicacy of their flesh.
