Fried sea bass with rosemary and wild rice with basil sauce

Cookinero 27 Jan 2023

So what is this Israeli Seabass? Sea bass has been a white fish for centuries, and do not expect that when you order it in a restaurant, they will bring you a fresh red handsome one. Despite this, many tourists who come to Israel from northern countries believe that there is no such thing as white sea bass. This is due to the fact that someone once called the northern red perch Seabass. Sea bass, of course, belongs to the group of perch fish, but do not forget that Israel is a hot country, and all local perch fish are white.
