Quick, easy and very tasty; great way to serve fresh bass fillets. A neighbor gave us a lot of these fillets and I'd never made them before so started searching Zaar and so glad I found this one - I always worry about over cooking fish and followed this recipe exactly including cook times and it came out perfect. Served with garden fresh tomatoes salad and corn and it made a wonderful dinner. Thanks Chuck for a very nice recipe

Sorry Chuck I didn't catch the size of it's mouth but this is one delicious way to do sea bass. Followed the recipe exactly - the result a very tasty, eye appealing recipe. I served it with new steamed carrotsm fresh steamed green beans and plain cooked potatoes Excellent thanks Chuck. PS I know there really is a fish called Large mouth Bass I just happened to use Chilian Sea Bass
