About Chilean Seabass Whole 5kg

We source our whole fish from trusted British fishmongers, specialist fish markets and carefully selected suppliers. In particular, we work with day-boat fishermen where possible to ensure the shortest journey from sea to delivery. As a result, the fish we deliver arrives in genuinely fresh condition. Furthermore, whole fish tells you everything about its freshness — bright eyes, red gills, firm flesh and a clean sea smell. However, we spare you the uncertainty by sourcing only fish that meets our own standards. In particular, premium species like turbot, Dover sole and wild sea bass require sourcing from sustainable fisheries. Additionally, we stock the full range from everyday fish like sardines and mackerel to the finest luxury species. That breadth and quality reflects our commitment to the finest British and European fish traditions. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Chilean Seabass Whole 5kg From Us

Cooking whole fish is one of the most rewarding things a cook can do. In contrast to filleted fish, cooking on the bone produces a moister result. As a result, a whole fish roasted or grilled is almost always superior to the same fish cooked as a fillet. Furthermore, the backbone protects the flesh from direct heat and provides natural basting from the inside. However, scoring the skin before cooking is essential for even heat penetration and a crisp result. In particular, a hot oven or a very hot grill is the correct environment for most whole fish. Moreover, always rest whole fish for 2 to 3 minutes after cooking. The flesh continues cooking briefly and relaxes considerably. Additionally, the bones of a cooked whole fish make an outstanding stock for sauces and soups. That whole-fish approach produces the finest possible result from any species.

How to Cook Chilean Seabass Whole 5kg

To get the very best from it:

• Portion into generous fillets and pan-sear skin-side down in a hot pan for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp.
• Finish in a 180°C oven for 6 to 8 minutes until the flesh is just cooked through and still silky.
• Furthermore, Chilean seabass whole 5kg suits a miso or ginger preparation similar to black cod where the rich flesh absorbs the marinade beautifully.
• Additionally, the bones and head make an outstanding rich fish stock.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• White miso, sake and mirin for a Japanese-inspired marinade
• Lemon beurre blanc or a good hollandaise alongside
• Asparagus, samphire or fine green beans as a seasonal accompaniment
• A glass of fine white Burgundy, Chablis premier cru or a Viognier alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within 2 days of delivery. For the finest result, use on the day of arrival. Furthermore, store on a plate covered loosely in the coldest part of the fridge. However, do not seal in plastic as the fish needs to breathe. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you cook it, Chilean Seabass Whole 5kg brings a freshness and flavour that only carefully sourced whole fish can deliver. Moreover, the finest fish always rewards simple cooking and the best possible accompaniments.
