Sea bass is a lean white fish with a delicate flavour, a fine flake and thin skin that crisps well, which is half the reason to cook it. Farmed bass is milder and softer than wild and consistent through the year, and it behaves the same way in the pan.

We prepare it at the Barnes counter whole and cleaned, trimmed, headed or filleted and pin-boned by hand. Ask for it scale on for the barbecue, where the scales shield the flesh from the fierce heat.

Pan-fry fillets skin-side down for three to four minutes and a minute on the flesh, roast a whole fish at 200C or steam it with soy, ginger and spring onion.

Origin, cooking and recipe

Origin and species

Farmed sea bass is milder and softer than wild and consistent through the year, a lean white fish with a delicate flavour and thin skin that crisps well. Ask for it scale on for the barbecue, where the scales shield the flesh from the fierce heat.

How to cook it

The crisp skin is half the reason to cook it. Pan-fry fillets skin-side down for three to four minutes and a minute on the flesh, roast a whole fish at 200C or steam it with soy, ginger and spring onion.

Recipe

From the Journal: whole roast sea bass with fennel and lemon and how to cook a whole sea bass.

Storage and preparation

Keep it wrapped on the coldest shelf of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf at the back, and use it within one to two days. Fresh sea bass freezes well for up to three months. Wrap it tightly, freeze it quickly and defrost in the fridge overnight.
