ELV note: The BEEG WEINER is @anonymous who correctly pegged this as the famed John Dory/San Pietro/San Pierre/kuparu fish known to be found in European and Australian/New Zealand waters. The specimen below gave its life for someone’s tasty meal at Milos — where the Greek word for it is the tongue-twisting Hristopsaro. Efxarsitou (a Greek thank you) to Chef Pericles Koskinas for the information and for overseeing (and cooking) such an astounding array of delicious things that swim. (BTW: at Milos they usually designate it as the San Pietro fish, recognizing the difficulty non-Greeks will have saying: her-IS-top-sa-ro.)

On this most religious of days, ELV thinks it’s time for another round of Guess That Fish!
