Sea bass is a succulent white fish that can be cooked in many ways. In Southern Spain, you will generally see it served as a whole salt baked seabass using larger size specimens that can serve up to six people. In the Basque country, sea bass is generally cooked on the barbecue and served with a ‘refrito de ajos’ also known as bilbaína sauce, which is a garlic and dried chilli infused oil, finished with cider vinegar. A whole sea bass barbecued to perfection makes a great summertime dish. The bones help to add flavour and moisture to the flesh, while the charred skin makes the fish taste out of this world.
