 Peix vaca is one of the popular names used by fishermen to identify certain fish in the Mediterranean, although its name may vary depending on the island and local seafaring tradition.
 

 
 In the waters of Formentera, as in the rest of the Balearic Islands, the names of the fish form part of a vocabulary passed down through generations of fishermen. These popular names reflect a close relationship with the sea and with the species that have been part of the daily lives of coastal communities.
 

 
 Beyond its name, the peix vaca represents the traditional knowledge of Balearic fishing, based on observing, recognizing and naming the richness of the Mediterranean.
