Chilean Sea Bass is one of the best fish around. It's delicious, it's versatile, and especially amazing when served with Mediterranean-style vegetables and is finished with fresh basil. What I want to know is what is the best way to cook it? Pan-Seared? Grilled? Baked? Chilean sea bass is caught in deep waters in and around southern oceans near Antarctica. It is a buttery, firm, mildly sweet, melt-in-your-mouth fish that pairs with just about anything. It is snow-white in color and can be eaten with or without the skin. You can grill, broil, bake, pan-sear, or poach it. Chilean sea bass is a bit of an overfished species and is often very expensive.
