Seabass Fillets, Medium, 150-170g x 2

Sea Bass Fillets Medium are two medium sea bass fillets, each weighing 150 to 170g — one of the most popular and versatile fish available. Sea bass has a mild, clean, slightly sweet flavour with a firm white flesh that holds together beautifully during cooking. As a result, it suits an exceptionally wide range of preparations. Furthermore, the skin crisps to a golden, crackling finish when pan-fried correctly. In particular, sea bass is equally at home with Mediterranean, Asian and classic French flavour profiles.

About Sea Bass Fillets Medium

We source our fish and seafood from trusted fishmongers and sustainable fisheries. In particular, every supplier covers the British Isles and Europe. In particular, we select every species for its quality, provenance and flavour. As a result, the fish at your door meets the standard of the finest fishmonger. Furthermore, it compares to what a top restaurant supplier would provide. Furthermore, we handle every fish with care from the moment it leaves the water. Our team fillets it to order, packs it carefully and delivers it chilled in insulated packaging. However, the most important thing is what happens in your kitchen. Fresh fish of genuine quality needs very little. In particular, a hot pan, good butter and simple seasoning always beats complicated sauces. The best fish needs no embellishment. Additionally, freshness is everything with fish. A short supply chain from source to door makes all the difference. That is why Sea Bass Fillets Medium from The Artisan Food Company consistently meets the expectations of the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Sea Bass Fillets Medium From Us

Cooking fish well is one of the most rewarding skills in the kitchen. However, it is also one that many home cooks find intimidating. In contrast to meat, fish needs very little time. Most fillets cook in under 10 minutes. As a result, the margin between perfect and overcooked is small. In particular, the single most common mistake is overcooking. Furthermore, fish continues to cook after it leaves the heat. Therefore, pulling it from the pan a moment early is always the right decision. Moreover, a good non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan makes an enormous difference. Additionally, patting the fillet completely dry before cooking is essential. This gives a clean, golden sear rather than steaming in its own moisture.

When you order Sea Bass Fillets Medium from The Artisan Food Company, you can trust that we have handled it with the same care and attention from water to door. Furthermore, Sea Bass Fillets Medium arrives chilled and ready to cook. Simply remove from packaging and cook.

How to Cook Sea Bass Fillets Medium

To get the very best from Sea Bass Fillets Medium:

• Pat the fillet completely dry with kitchen paper before cooking — this is the single most important step for a good sear.
• Season generously with sea salt on the skin side only, immediately before cooking.
• Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan until very hot, then add a small amount of oil or clarified butter.
• Place skin-side down and press gently for the first 30 seconds to prevent curling — cook for 70% of the time on the skin side.
• Furthermore, sea bass suits Asian flavours beautifully — try steaming over ginger, soy and sesame or serving with a chilli and lime dressing.

Perfect Pairings

Sea Bass Fillets Medium pairs beautifully with:

• A classic beurre blanc or a lemon and caper butter sauce
• A chilled Chablis, white Burgundy, Vermentino or a light Pinot Grigio
• Roasted Mediterranean vegetables, braised fennel or buttered samphire
• Crushed new potatoes with herbs, or a simple dressed salad alongside
