Question:

Are Toothfish and Chilean Sea Bass the same?

— xiaping shen

Answer:

Indeed they are. Uh, Patagonia tooth fish, uh, antarctic tooth fish, uh, different subspecies, uh, don't have really great names. Not really marketable, huh? You know, you don't say like, I want some tooth fish, but I want some sea bass. Wow. I mean, sea bass is kind of the benchmark lexicon for what's good from the ocean, right? Sea bass, it just sounds good. It rolls off the tongue, it prints well on menus. So, uh, a brilliant marketer in the late 1980s came up with Trian Sea Bass as a name for, as a new moniker for Cho uh, for Patagonian Tooth Fish. And thus was born a new fish, right? It was just a marketing term basically that's stuck. It really worked well. We almost ate them to eradication, uh, but now they're in fact, uh, are some very sustainable, certified sustainable fisheries for these products coming out of our southern waters. There's not to say there's not some issues with some fisheries, but uh, if you're getting it from a retailer you can trust, who does the legwork for you on sustainability then? It's a really great product. It's a delicious product one I recommend. And there you go. Yeah, they're all the same thing. Arctic tooth fish, um, Chilean tooth, Patagonian tooth fish, et cetera. It's all Chilean SeaPass, one and the same.
