Sea bass will have a lovely moist, flaky texture when cooked well. Pan-seared in olive oil or butter with salt and pepper is a quick and easy option. Cook each side for only 3-4 minutes on medium heat for best results. Sea bass can also be baked, roasted, grilled, steamed, or poached. We recommend leaving the fish out of the refrigerator for 20 minutes before cooking to stop the fish from overcooking on the outside while remaining undercooked inside. An easier was to consistently cook tender fish is to use a specialized cooker.
