do not believe the hype !, November 21, 2007
This review is from: 2 lbs. Fresh Chilean Seabass (Misc.)
Is Chilean sea bass an endangered species? No.
This refreshing morsel of truth came from the U.S. Departments of State and Commerce in their latest comments on the subject. But elite chefs across the country, unencumbered as they are by pesky facts, are buying into environmental hype. One by one, they are banishing Chilean sea bass from their menus, based on the say-so of a few agenda-driven environmental scare groups.

Please avoid this species, May 1, 2005
This review is from: 2 lbs. Fresh Chilean Seabass (Misc.)
Chilean seabass (actually called Patagonian toothfish) is being fished to extinction. These fish take decades to reach maturity and live as long as 80 years, but they are being caught faster than they can reproduce.
Try black sea bass, striped bass or rockfish instead.
