Chilean sea bass
Upscale white fish
Chilean sea bass is a marketing name for the Patagonian toothfish, a large deep-water fish from southern oceans.
The rebranding in the 1970s transformed an obscure catch into a premium restaurant item prized for its rich, buttery flesh.
Overfishing led to conservation concerns and certification programs: Is this Chilean sea bass sustainably sourced?
