White Sea bass are very large members of the Pacific Croaker/Drum Family. Applications in cooking would mirror Wild Striped Bass, Redfish, Corvina, and Toothfish. Large loose flakes lend to a silky texture and a very mild ocean flavor. This is not a "FISHY" fish, but it does have a mild complexity that separates it from species like Groupers and Snappers.

Moist, Halibut-like
Escolar has a very white flesh and is sometimes consumed raw as sushi or sashimi. Filleted and cut into thick steaks, escolar can be cooked in numerous ways: pan-fried, braised or grilled. The flavor of its moist white flesh is a bit like that of halibut. It lends itself well to both traditional and exotic recipes. Grilling will tend to reduce the heavy fat content whereas battering will not.
