Fillet

Black Bass fillet is a boneless side lifted from the frame, pin bones removed or marked. Flesh is white, firm, mild freshwater character. True black bass is freshwater game fish—confirm vs sea bass labelling. Pan-sear, grill, bake, or steam depending on thickness; American pan-fry and Chinese steam banquet styles. Keep iced and use soon after thawing. Lean to moderate, clean water matters for flavour guides whether you cook hot-and-fast or with more basting.
