Whole sea bass is a highly-prized and versatile fish known for its mild, sweet, and delicate flavour. This fish typically has a slender, elongated body with silvery, reflective scales that catch the light. Its flesh is moist and tender, with a fine-textured white meat that flakes easily when cooked. Whole sea bass is often prepared by grilling, roasting, or steaming, and it's frequently served with a variety of seasonings and herbs, such as lemon, garlic, and fresh thyme. This elegant fish is a favourite in many culinary traditions, and its presentation as a whole fish, often with the head and tail intact, adds a touch of sophistication to any seafood dish. It's a wonderful choice for those who appreciate a refined seafood experience.
As a guide yield from a whole fish is approx 50% of pre preparation weight.
