Fresh Premium Chilean Sea Bass Fillets, Individually Vacuum Packed, Ready to Cook (8 Oz. / Fillet)

The Chilean sea bass is not the type of fish you find on the menu at Red Lobster or Long John Silver’s. Instead, you’re more likely to choose it out of a lineup that includes filet mignon and lobster risotto — and to pay top dollar for its buttery, melt in your mouth flavor. Simply put, one of the most delicious fish our oceans have to offer. Its sweet flavor and snow-white flesh have quickly made the Chilean Seabass a coveted selection in some of the most prestigious restaurants worldwide. The stunning balance between flavor and texture gives a culinary versatility which is rare in fish fillets.
