Enjoy ocean-fresh quality anytime with flash-frozen Atlantic black sea bass. Caught at peak season and commercially frozen within hours of harvest, this premium white fish retains its natural moisture, firm texture, and mild, sweet flavor without loss of quality or integrity.

Known for their snow-white flesh, delicate flake, and subtly sweet flavor, these fillets are a culinary delight. Enjoy them grilled, baked, pan-seared, or poached for a truly unforgettable dining experience. Given the coal black scale outside appearance, Black Sea Bass is a lean white fish that is a native to the East Coast of the United States that is highly sought after by many types of cuisines.

  • Wild or Farmed: Wild
  • Availability: Seasonal
  • Package Size: 2 Lb
  • Form: Frozen Fillet
  • Fillet Size: Each fillet is anywhere between 2 to 6 ounces on average depending on current stock.
  • Harvest Area: East Coast, MA, RI, NY, NC, depending on the season
  • Scientific Name: Centropristis striata
  • Pan-Seared Sea Bass with Lemon-Caper Butter: Thaw and pat the skin bone-dry. Sear skin-side down in a hot skillet until crisp, flip briefly, then baste with melted butter, lemon juice, capers, and fresh parsley for a classic bistro finish.
  • Crispy Skin Sea Bass over Warm White Bean Salad: Pan-fry the skin to a deep crunch and serve over a warm ragout of Cannellini beans, garlic, wilted spinach, cherry tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil.
  • Poached Sea Bass in Tomato & Saffron Broth (Bouillabaisse Style): Gently simmer fillets directly in a white wine, fennel, saffron, and crushed tomato broth. The firm flesh holds together without falling apart in the liquid.
  • Blackened Sea Bass Tacos: Rub fillets with Cajun seasoning and sear in a cast-iron skillet. Serve tucked into warm corn tortillas topped with red cabbage slaw, diced avocado, and a squeeze of lime cream.

Frozen items are shipped with dry ice to ensure the arrive fully frozen. Please place them directly into your freezer upon arrival.

If you order fresh and frozen items together, we package your shipment using gel ice packs instead of dry ice to protect your fresh goods. As a result, frozen items may partially thaw during transit. You can safely place them straight back into your freezer, or allow them to finish defrosting and enjoy right away.

Defrosting Guidelines

  1. Overnight in the Fridge: Small packs take 6–12 hours; large packs take 12–48 hours.
  2. Cold Water Bowl: Submerge sealed items in cold water for a faster thaw.
  • Note: Do not use hot water or attempt to thaw by cooking, as this ruins the natural texture and flavor.

Customers praised the bass fillets as "delicious" with a "succulent, buttery taste" and no fishy smell. The fish holds up well to different cooking methods and arrives well-packed with ice. However, one customer experienced sizing inconsistencies when substitutions were made without prior contact, receiving smaller fish than ordered.

  • The best tasting fish I've ever had. Comes well packed with lots of ice packs!
  • Fresh, no fishy smell or off taste. Succulent, buttery taste!
  • Perfect size for steaming whole, and nice and fresh. Will definitely buy these again.

The first time I ordered Jumbo size Black Sea Bass early this year, I got 2 nice sized fish. Not quite 3lbs each but big enough for the recipe I was making. This time around they were not able to provide Jumbo fish, so they substituted what were supposed to be Large size (2-3 lbs each) and included 3 extra fish instead. Unfortunately the "Large" fish they provided were each 1-1/2 lbs or smaller. This meant a lot more prep work for me, scaling and cleaning 5 fish, as well as more difficulty deboning the smaller fish for my guests, with smaller portions of meat left after deboning. They should have contacted me first before making the substitution. I would have cancelled the order (If I had wanted to deal with smaller fish, I would have ordered smaller fish). If I order again in the future, I will include specific instructions to make no substitutions.

The two Black Sea Bass were delicious and fresh. They were “banquet size” for a Chinese New Year dinner. Since moving from NYC decades ago, these fish were hard to find and never larger than a pound or so. If you can figure out a way to spread the word, you have a big untapped market outside of the big cities!

Ordered 2 Jumbo Whole Black Sea Bass for Chinese New Year dinners and they were great! Perfect size (3+ lbs each before scaling and cleaning) for steaming whole, and nice and fresh. Will definitely buy these again.
