Tips:
- Use the freshest sea bass you can find. Freshness is key to the flavor of any seafood dish.
- Make sure to scale and gut the sea bass before cooking it. This will remove any unwanted parts of the fish and make it easier to eat.
- If you're using a whole sea bass, cut it into serving-sized pieces before cooking. This will make it easier to eat and will also help the fish cook more evenly.
- Don't overcook the sea bass. It's a delicate fish, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
- Serve the sea bass with your favorite Cuban side dishes, such as black beans and rice, fried plantains, or yuca fries.
