The red porgy (Pagrus pagrus), or common seabream, is a species of fish in the family Sparidae. It is found in a wide variety of locations that range from Europe to the Caribbean. Also known along the Gulf Coast as White Snapper, even though it is not a true Snapper. In the UK it is known as Couch's Sea Bream after the Cornish ichthyologist Dr. Jonathan Couch who first discovered this species in British waters.
