But if you fillet sea bass right, you will keep the bones on the fish’s body and remove 2 beautiful fillets!

First of all there are no (very little) BONES in the final dish you’re serving! No one likes getting fish bones in their mouth with a bite of sea bass. The first step in cooking sea bass the best way, is to FILLET them! I prefer filleting sea bass for several reasons. OPTIONAL: For an extra kick of flavor… Lightly sprinkle garlic powder and lemon pepper for extra flavor that compliments sea bass fillets!.To make fresh pesto to top sea bass: use a food processor and combine 2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed 1/2 cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/3 cup pine nuts (or walnuts) 3 cloves garlic, minced, 1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste) 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (more to taste!).Remove sea bass fillets from pan and top with a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice, lemon zest, or fresh pesto.Pan fry on medium heat for 2 more minutes, till fillets are browned on both sides, and flaky opaque inside.Lightly salt and black pepper the other side of fillets.After browned on bottom, FLIP sea bass fillets.After 2 minutes, check under side of fish for browned color.Lightly salt and pepper the top of fillets.When better is melted, add room temperature sea bass fillets.In a large non stick skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat.It really lets you enjoy the flavor and texture of the fish without anything that would take away or overpower the mild flavor fish! Pan fried sea bass have a bit of a crispy crust and will be light and flaky inside… Perfect!

The bestway to cook sea bass is to just pan fry fillets with butter, salt and pepper till browned and a little crispy on the outside and flaky opaque inside! I wholeheartedly love sea bass fillets cooked this way. It’s tender and light, not heavy like red meat, and it just feels good in your tummy! There are so many ways to cook sea bass, but you start cooking your fillets, give them a good rinse in cold water, and set them on a paper towel. I really LOVE fish… It’s healthy whole foods. Real Sea Bass have a firmer meaty texture white flesh, like fresh water bass, and are not bony fish. Several kinds of fish, including Chilean sea bass aren’t really sea bass, they include white fish, patagonian toothfish, and other fish varieties that are ONLY called sea bass by those selling them so they can sell more.

As their name says, Sea Bass only live in the sea. I later learned that real Sea Bass are a smaller fish and they only live in the west side of the Atlantic Ocean between Florida and Cape Cod. They were actually a bony white fish, and had a good flavor but were very bony, and hard to eat. I learned real quickly that people selling fish call fish sea bass, even when they aren’t. After cooking them over the fire, I learned something. They were big beautiful light grey fish (and I love fish) so we bought a few. I remember the locals coming through in the evening selling their daily catch which they called sea bass. When I was 16, my parents took us to San Felipe, in Baja Mexico, to camp on the beach for a week. This simple and delicious sea bass recipe is a great meal for dinner tonight, for busy weeknights, and a wonderful way to celebrate special occasions! WIth a few Simple ingredients you already have in the kitchen, and only about 10 minutes, this recipe produces perfect sea bass fillets… Lightly crisp on the outside and mild flavored flaky meat inside!
