Corvina (whitemouth croaker) is a popular coastal fish across Latin America, known for its firm, white, mild flesh. It is highly versatile — used in ceviches across Peru and Mexico, grilled whole, and baked. The name corvina is used across Spain and Latin America, though it can refer to several related species. It is often confused with sea bass on menus and in markets.
