Baked Sea Bass With Potatoes

Next to sea bream, bass is the most valued fish in the Adriatic Sea. Sea bass is a predator that can survive in different and extreme conditions, and quickly adapt. It can grow to a 1 meter length, and achieve 15 kilo of weight, though these specimens are very rare. Mostly caught sea bass has less than 1 kilo. Usually it can be found in ports, next to the pears, and one of the most favorite places for sea bass is river deltas. This is my favorite fish recipe to prepare and I usually like to bake it in the oven with vegetables.
