All things Fishing...edit, now fish thread,

Where was this reported?

 

Good

 

Arrogant is never a compliment as far as I know.

 

Yeah, I've never heard anyone describe a nice slab of blackened sea bass with a perfect lemon cream sauce as being arrogantly delicious.

 

The term Sea Bass itself is ignorant. But, ironically that coined term is what made a very tasty fish finally become popular.

 

Well, if it's really all that ignorant, in the future I'll use it with great pride - if not outright arrogance.

 

Hey, it's tasty!

 

Yeah, I had a wonderful serving at a little place in Pensacola that was served with one of the best cream sauces I have ever tasted. Two years later I still remember it as being really exceptional. Incidentally, for the benefit of both myself, and all the other ignoramuses who may be reading this, if it's not actually sea bass what the hell is it?

 

Patagonian Toothfish. I saw a show once that detailed the issue. Basically, this fishmonger changed the name to get it to sell and it took off. In the 70's as I recall.

 

Well who the heck named it that? Hell I’d change the name too

 

Lol. I know bro. First time I heard it I almost died laughing. Like imagine being in a restaurant and looked at the waiter deadfaced and ordering that. Lol

 

Thanks Mod

 

But the sea bass being a tad ill tempered does enhance the presentation.

 

Well, jewfish isn’t an acceptable name, but I could be wrong about the species.

 

The Fish House? Global Grill? George's Bistro?

 

Some guy from Tennessee?

 

The Southern Pearl, just outside the city limits in Pace. Alas, it is no more; a victim of the covid era I suppose. It was a real shame to lose it, the food was far and away the best in our neck of the woods. All of their seafood and southern cuisine was just about as good as it gets. The wife and I remember it fondly.

 

That was in the old Chet's location.

 

Pretty sure the jewfish is in the grouper family

 

It is.
