Bass (Because it is from the UK, so doesn't need to be called sea bass) done in a parcel.

Never tried Bass, then when I wanted to it was scorned at... Might also explain why Cod is struggling as well.

North Sea cod : Why is it off the menu again?


North Sea cod has had a troubled history, and despite years of work to bring it back to sustainable levels, the state of the stock has once again declined to a worryingly low level. A combination of fishing pressure and environmental changes, the population is so small that its ability to reproduce may be impaired. All of the cod populations around the UK are in a similar position, making this iconic species one of the least sustainable fish to be caught in UK waters, and urgent action is needed to bring it back to healthy levels.


And is sea bass coming back?


UK sea bass has come off the Fish to Avoid list. This shows what can be achieved when management of fish stocks starts to improve. After being heavily fished for decades, a series of measures brought in over the last few years have reduced fishing pressure, the first step in giving sea bass a chance to recover. Populations are still at very low levels and there is a long way to go to get this fishery well managed and in a healthy state, but this species shows how beneficial good fisheries management can be.
