Sea bass makes excellent eating, with its milky white flesh and subtle flavour, it's is a real delicacy. It can be a relatively expensive fish.

It's delicious grilled simply or steamed. Don't overcook it. When you press the skin, you should just be able to feel the moist flakes of fish sliding apart.

It takes quite strong flavours well so is suited to Asian style cooking as with Sea bass with grapefruit salsa and Chinese style baked sea bass.
