Sea bass
Mild and slightly sweet with a buttery richness, and a firm yet flaky texture depending on the species.
Lens analyzedSea bass is a broad name for several species of white, flaky fish with a mild, slightly buttery flavor, sold as whole fish or fillets. It holds up well to a range of cooking methods, from steaming to pan-searing to baking whole.
Where it comes from
Sea bass has long been a prized fish in coastal cooking traditions from the Mediterranean to East Asia, and different species sold under the same general name reflect its wide global popularity in seafood cooking.
Buying it
Check whether the fish is labeled a specific species like Chilean sea bass or black sea bass, since price and texture vary noticeably between them despite the shared name.
Storing it
Refrigerate fresh sea bass on ice and cook within a day or two, or keep frozen fillets solidly frozen until ready to thaw and cook.
Keeps about 2 days in the fridge.
