Sea Bass with green tea

recipe

Sea Bass are small fish that live in the western Atlantic between Florida and Cape Cod. Unlike other bass, like striped bass and white bass, sea bass is only found in the ocean. Sea bass tastes really good steamed or roasted, especially with Asian seasonings. Fillets can be sauteed or broiled, and they are often baked in parchment paper or foil packets. Both whole fish and fillets are delicious fried.
