Species Spotlight: Striped Bass (or Rockfish)
Striped bass, more commonly called ‘rockfish’ or ‘stripers,’ are perhaps the most iconic fish in the Chesapeake Bay region. Distinguished by the dark horizontal stripes on their silver bodies, rockfish can live up to 30 years and reach over five feet in length. They migrate up and down the East Coast, but most are born in the Chesapeake Bay. In terms of quality, they are second to none. It has a moderately fat, firm-textured flesh with a mild, sweet flavor. The flesh cooks up white and moist. The great looking dark striped skin crisps up beautifully when cooked and tastes great. Since we are so excited about this fish, it's the special this week!
