Locally Raised California White Sea Bass Now Available From Santa Monica Seafood

Our first shipment of Farmed California White Sea Bass from Pacifico Aquaculture is now available!

Although California White Sea Bass is one of our favorite fish and sells on it’s culinary merits alone, this is a product that comes with a pretty amazing backstory and is the result of a very unique partnership.

Thanks to the team at the Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute (HSWRI), the White Sea Bass that we will be carrying are the result of on-going aquaculture research aimed at producing an affordable and sustainable seafood option. The aquaculture experts at HSWRI have put a ton of energy into working on a variety of issues including sourcing and care of broodstock, fingerling production and optimization of ingredients used in feed.

But that’s just the beginning! HSWRI starts the process by providing a steady supply of carefully raised fingerlings. Those fish are then handed off to the team at Pacifico to raise to market size (in our case, about 1.5 lbs.).
