Closely related to the grouper, the flesh of a sea bass is firm, but it has a mild texture. That firmness makes it ideal for soups and chowders, for it holds its shape really nicely.
This Asian-inspired recipe for Miso Glazed Sea Bass would pair perfectly with a lightly seasoned starch or veggie.

Sea bass is an endangered species. We shouldn’t be eating it (despite how absolutely delicious it is).
