Farmed sea bass is raised in sea pens and sold at a steady size all year: a sleek, silver-scaled fish with a dark back and a white belly.
The flesh is white and moist with firm flakes and a clean, slightly sweet taste, and the skin crisps up well in a hot pan or over coals. At this size it makes one whole fish per person.
Suitable for
- Pan-frying
- Grilling
- Barbecuing
- Roasting whole

Ideas

How much to buy
One 300-400g whole fish per person, or 150-180g of fillet per person.
Season

Storage and freezing
Keep covered in the coldest part of the fridge at 0-4°C and cook within 1 to 2 days.

Chef's tip
Score the skin lightly and press fillets flat with a fish slice for the first 30 seconds so the skin crisps evenly without curling.
