8 Restaurants In Malta That Have Marvellous Meagre Fish On Their Menus
Meagre (or gurbell) is a fantastic fish which is thankfully one of Malta’s locals. Its fleshy, delicate, white meat is appetising on any plate and we love it either grilled, fried, steamed or battered!
It is sometimes forgotten about on menus (or overshadowed by other fish options) but not in these restaurants.
1. Quadro Restaurant, St Julian’s
Herb crusted meagre with scallop mousse tortellini, mange tout, bacon & chicory warm salad, celeriac puree and red wine fish sauce. And it’s part of their brand spanking new menu!

Rocksalt serve up brown meagre with seasonal veg, pomme fondant and beurre blanc.
3. Rickshaw, Attard
