Sea Bass: The Luxury Fish You Can Afford

Sea bass might be a top choice for Michelin-starred chefs, but it’s also an excellent option for home cooks craving a little luxury in their seafood. Once known for its hefty price tag, sea bass has become much more affordable thanks to sustainable farming in the Mediterranean. Whether you’re whipping up a quick weekday meal or impressing guests at a dinner party, sea bass delivers both flavour and nutrition in every bite.

Here’s where it gets interesting: the sea bass you see in the fresh fish section was almost certainly frozen and then thawed before hitting the shelves. So, why pay more?...
