Caught some off the coast of Denmark back in the mid 80's when I was stationed in northern Germany. We were on a 4 day weekend trip sponsored by the military and the ships crew fileted them for us and we took mess back with us along with sea trout, flounder and a few other species. Good eating.Sea bass is the king of good eating IMO. It's right up there with crab and lobster. Expensive but well worth it.
