European Sea Bass

European Sea Bass, or Branzini, is a favorite among restaurant chefs and demand is high. It is widely available farmed. In Nova Scotia it is raised on land-based farms that are “closed” to the surrounding environment, which limits the impact on the local ecosystem. This makes the Canadian farmed fish a best choice for sustainability.
