Chilean Sea Bass, despite its name, is not a bass. It's a marketing name for the Dissostichus eleginoides, a species of Patagonian Toothfish.
Habitat: Primarily found in the cold, deep waters of the Southern Ocean, specifically around Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Prince Edward Islands.
Appearance: They are large fish, reaching up to 6 feet in length and weighing over 200 pounds. They have a dark brown to black coloration.
Flavor and Texture: Known for its rich, buttery flavor and flaky, moist texture. High in omega-3 fatty acids.
Sustainability Concerns: Historically, overfishing was a major problem, leading to depletion of stocks. Look for certified sustainable options (e.g., MSC certification) to ensure responsible fishing practices.
Culinary Uses: A popular fish in restaurants, often grilled, baked, pan-fried, or steamed. Pairs well with a variety of sauces and seasonings.
Naming Convention: The name "Chilean Sea Bass" was adopted in the late 1970s to make the fish more appealing to consumers, as "Patagonian Toothfish" was considered unappetizing.
