    What is Sea Bass?

    Sea bass is a kind of cod icefish or white fish. It has a mild taste and is very versatile as it can be prepared in several ways and pairs well with a variety of spices. We highly recommend it as a delicious home-cooked meal served with steamed vegetables.  

    Chilean Sea Bass is a deep-sea fish that requires more expertise and resources to catch than other fish varieties. It’s also extremely popular because it tastes good and is easy to prepare. As it’s in higher demand than other fish, there are times when it is overfished, which drives the cost up even more. Fortunately, there are many types of sea bass and white fish that you can use for this recipe.

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    • sea bass fillets
    • canola oil
    • Old Bay seasoning
    • paprika

    How to Grill Sea Bass

    • Use the oil to rub or brush the fillets and then season both sides with Old Bay and paprika. 
    • Place the fish on the hot grill (375°F).
    • With the lid closed, grill the fish for 3 minutes. Flip the fish over using a spatula and cook for a further 2 to 4 minutes. The fish is ready if it’s springy to the touch, or if it reads 145°F when you insert an instant-read thermometer into the center.
    • Plate the grilled sea bass and serve with a sprinkling of lemon juice and fresh parsley.

    Storage and Reheating

    Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container, or wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. To freeze, store in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.

    To reheat your leftovers, use a bamboo steamer or metal insert to steam the fish for a few minutes. Otherwise, heat your oven to 400℉ and bring the fish to room temperature by placing the fish on a plate in the path of the ambient heat.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Grilled Fish Healthy?

    In general, fish is high in protein, low in fat, and loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids. As such, grilled fish is a very healthy meal option for lunch or dinner. 

    Can I Use Frozen Fish Fillets in this Recipe?

    If you’re pressed for time, you can use frozen fish in this recipe. Allow the fillets to thaw completely and then pat dry with a paper towel before proceeding with the instructions. However, the taste of fresh fish cannot be beaten and we highly recommend using it whenever possible.

    How to Keep the Fish From Sticking to the Pan or Grill?

    In the recipe below, we recommend brushing or rubbing the fillets with olive oil to prevent them from sticking to your pan or grill. As an extra measure, you can spray a non-stick pan with cooking spray before cooking the fish on it.
