Frequently Asked Questions About Shi drum fish
Is shi drum fish the same as black drum?
No, shi drum fish and black drum are different species, although both belong to the drum family. Their names are easy to confuse, so use the scientific name or ask a fishmonger when you need to confirm which fish you are buying.
What is shi drum fish?
Shi drum fish is a marine fish found in the Mediterranean and nearby waters, including the Black Sea. It is also known as an umber, and its firm white flesh is sold fresh in some coastal markets.
Where is shi drum fish caught?
Shi drum fish is caught in coastal waters around the Mediterranean and Black Sea, often near rocky seabeds. Availability varies by location and season, so it may be more familiar in regional fish markets than in inland shops.
What does shi drum fish taste like?
Shi drum fish has a mild, clean flavor and fairly firm white flesh. Its taste is not strongly “fishy,” so it works well with simple seasoning rather than heavy sauces that would cover its delicate flavor.
How do you cook shi drum fish?
You can bake, pan-fry, or grill shi drum fish. Keep the seasoning simple and avoid overcooking it, since lean fish can dry out; lemon and herbs are easy accompaniments.
Can you grill shi drum fish whole?
Yes, shi drum fish can be grilled whole once it has been scaled and gutted. Make a few shallow cuts in the skin so heat reaches the flesh evenly, and check the thickest part for doneness before serving.
Does shi drum fish have many bones?
Shi drum fish has a central backbone and rib bones, and smaller bones may remain in a fillet. Ask for it to be filleted if you prefer, and check carefully for bones before serving it to children.
Can you eat the skin of shi drum fish?
Yes, shi drum fish skin is edible when the scales have been removed and the fish is cooked thoroughly. Patting the skin dry before cooking helps it brown; remove it if you dislike its texture.
What is the “stone” in shi drum fish?
The so-called shi drum fish stone is an otolith, a hard structure in the fish’s inner ear that helps with balance and hearing. It is not a kidney stone, and there is no reliable evidence that it treats kidney stones.
How should you store fresh shi drum fish?
Keep fresh shi drum fish cold in the refrigerator and cook it as soon as possible, ideally within a day or two. For longer storage, wrap it airtight and freeze it; thaw it in the refrigerator rather than on the counter.

What is Shi drum fish?
Shi drum fish is a firm-fleshed coastal fish found in the Mediterranean and nearby waters, including along Turkey’s shores. Its mild, clean flavour and substantial flakes make it suitable for simple home cooking as well as seafood restaurants.
It is commonly grilled, baked or pan-fried, and works well with lemon, herbs and a crisp salad. In Turkey, it may be served with rocket, onion and other meze-style sides; elsewhere, pair it with roasted vegetables or potatoes. Shi drum fish is naturally lean and protein-rich, with 19 g of protein per 100 g, so it makes a filling main course without being heavy. For a lighter plate, bake or grill it with a little oil rather than frying.
