Sea Bass San Sebastian

If you think sea bass is reserved for fancy restaurant menus, think again. This mild, firm whitefish is so versatile and quick to cook, whether it's poached, seared, or baked. And because it comes from the ocean, you'll find lots of recipes inspired by seafood-loving countries from around the world like Spain, Brazil, Japan, and the Caribbean. Look for sustainably-caught fresh or frozen sea bass like black sea bass, barramundi, or branzino at your fish counter. No sea bass available? You can substitute another firm whitefish like cod, snapper, or grouper.
