fried bass

Pan-seared freshwater catch

Fried bass is bass—a freshwater or saltwater fish—that has been cooked in hot oil or fat.

The preparation typically involves breading or battering the fillets before frying: We ordered the fried bass with hush puppies.

A staple of Southern American cuisine and fish fry gatherings.
