Where to Find Sea Bass
Sea bass is primarily found in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean from Norway to Morocco, Mediterranean Sea, and parts of the Pacific. It is commonly caught along the coastlines of Europe, particularly in countries like Spain, Italy, and Greece, making it a popular choice for Mediterranean-style cuisines. On UK shores, seabass can be found on the south and west coasts of England, Wales and Scotland. For businesses seeking sea bass wholesale, we ensure responsibly sourced products from top fisheries and native regions.
What Does Sea Bass Taste Like?
Sea bass has a delicate, mild flavour with a subtle sweetness, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of dishes. Its firm yet flaky texture is like that of snapper, but it is less oily compared to fish like mackerel. Sea bass is often favoured for its versatility, allowing it to pair well with both simple and complex seasonings without overpowering the palate.

How to Prepare Sea Bass
To prepare sea bass for cooking, start by cleaning the fish under cold water and patting it dry. If your sea bass comes whole, you will need to scale it and remove the entrails. Fileting sea bass can be done by cutting along the backbone and lifting the fillets away from the bones. Sea bass skin is typically left on for cooking, as it crisps up nicely when grilled or pan-seared, adding an extra layer of flavour and texture.
How to Cook Sea Bass
Sea bass can be cooked in several ways, depending on your preferred texture and flavour. Pan-searing or grilling – especially over an open flame and or wrapped in a banana leaf – are popular methods that enhance the fish’s mild flavour while giving the skin a delightful crisp. Baking sea bass is another option, ideal for larger fillets or whole fish, especially when paired with fresh herbs, lemon, and olive oil. For a lighter preparation, sea bass can also be steamed or poached, which locks in moisture and preserves its delicate texture.
