Chilean Seabass
 |
The Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) is a fish found in the cold, temperate waters (between depths of 45 to 3850 m) of the Southern Atlantic, Southern Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans on seamounts and continental shelves around most sub-Antarctic islands. A commercial fishery exists for Patagonian toothfish; the meat is sold under the trade names “Chilean sea bass” in the USA; “merluza negra” in Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay where it is relatively cheap; and “mero” in Japan where it is sold at high prices. |

The taste is exceptional and unique due to the high oil
content of the flesh. Because of the enormous size of Chilean sea bass, these
fillets are thicker than most, making them an excellent candidate for grilling.
