Belly

Black Bass belly is the richer ventral strip—oilier than the loin, with lean to moderate, clean water matters for flavour. It browns well and stays moist under high heat. Grill, confit in oil, or slice for rich crudo if grade allows. True black bass is freshwater game fish—confirm vs sea bass labelling. Yield is limited compared with loin.
