This highly prized game fish has a delicious, slightly oily white flesh - giving you the best of both worlds. We like to describe the taste of wild sea bass as a cross between cod and mackerel. The flavour and texture of sea bass means it can hold its own if cooked really simply and is also robust enough to take on flavour - including spice. Sea Bass has a classy reputation, for many years it has been featured on the menu of the best restaurants and is beloved by home cooks. However, this demand has driven the intensification of sea bass and often what you'll find on the fishmonger's slab or served up in a restaurant is farmed sea bass - an ecological nightmare. We only source Wild Sea Bass, caught using rod and line by a brilliant husband and wife fishing duo in Dorset. Sea Bass is a beautiful looking fish with silvery, iridescent scales. However don't be taken in by its beauty, it is a keen hunter and a hugely successful predator. The streamlined shape of the bass, its razor sharp spines and excellent eyesight give it an advantage over its prey. Bass will hunt in large shoals, but will also, when fish reach maturity, split off and hunt in solitary. Bass are highly mobile and migratory which means they can be hunting in our waters in large numbers, or rarely seen at all, making them a challenging or an abundant catch depending on the weather, time of year and location of food source. In recent years Bass stocks have recovered from the damaging European fishing of 2016. We now find plentiful Sea Bass in South West waters, however, to keep stocks thriving the catch method is important, which is why we only work with traditional rod and line. Approx 140g per fillet. 1 fillet per pack.
