How to Cook Fresh Stone Bass?

Crispy Pan-Seared Fillets: Cook skin-side down in a hot skillet with olive oil until golden and crispy (3–4 minutes), flip gently and finish with butter, garlic, and fresh thyme.

Whole Oven-Roasted Stone Bass: Stuff the cavity with fresh lemon slices, parsley, dill, and garlic cloves. Roast whole at 200°C for 30–35 minutes until the flesh flakes easily.

Gourmet BBQ: Whole-grill or barbecue over medium heat wrapped in foil or on a fish grate for a smoky, tender feast.
What does Stone Bass taste like compared to normal Sea Bass?
Stone Bass has a similar delicate, sweet white-fish flavor to wild Sea Bass, but its fillets are thicker, firmer, and much meatier. It absorbs marinades beautifully and stays extremely moist when cooked.

Can I request to have the Stone Bass filleted?
Yes! Simply select "Filleted & Pin-Boned" from the preparation options above for a small preparation fee. Our master fishmongers will hand-fillet the fish and remove the bones for you.
