Characteristics

Living in the cold, deep waters of the Southern Hemisphere means a high fat content and rich, moist meat with a buttery flavor that just melts in your mouth. The fillets are shiny and white and cook up white and flaky with a firm texture. It’s a great source of protein and is rich in Omega 3’s.

Alternatives include Sablefish or Escolar.


For Your Menu

Chilean Sea Bass is coveted by many chefs. It has a mild, rich, and buttery flavor and a moist, firm, tender texture with large flake.  Chilean Seabass can be prepared by grilling, poaching, sautéing, baking, broiling, and smoking.
