Chilean Bass was by far the most popular fish in the 90’s,so much so they had to stop the fishing of it so the supply could rebuild. At my restaurant in Malibu in the 90’s, that was our #1 best-selling dish, going through at least 500 pounds a week, and that was in just my restaurant! I always have the same salad with my dinner, which is a simple, baby romaine and avocado salad drizzled with olive oil and seasoned rice vinegar.
