Thread: Traducción "Panfish"

¿Alguna idea de cómo traducir esto? Son peces que tienen un tamaño tal que entrán enteros en una sartén. ¿Cómo lo traducirían?

Me suena "peces pequeños", "pesca pequeña", y podrías poner incluso "peces tamaño sartén".

Pescado para freir?

No me da esa idea. Se pueden freír filetes de pescado y la cocción en la sartén no necesariamente es frita.

Viene seguramente de una contracción de Pan-sized fish. Se refiere al hecho de que entra en una sartén, no que es para hacerse frito.

Perhaps asking in a local Fish Shop would be a good idea. If such a category exists, they should know. <・)))><<

Panfish are usually caught in freshwater rivers and lakes but as franco said, a panfish is determined by it's size so I suppose even a small saltwater fish that will fit in a pan could qualify; however, if you speak of panfish most people envision a hand-size freshwater fish..

The only way I have ever eaten them is fried. Most are too small to filet so there was the ever-present danger of getting a bone stuck in the throat which was very painful and scary as a kid. They can be grilled as well, or put in a fish soup, but frying is the primary cooking method.

Sounds very informative!

Thank you, vicente!

We can fry and grill "a la plancha" in a pan. It's just a matter of how much fat we add to the pan. This comment doesn't solve the question about the size though.
