There have been a few reports of this topic so it's probably worth just mentioning that we're in the middle of the closed season for Bass. It's illegal to fish or attempt to fish for bass and any bass caught have to be returned. The only Bass you can legally have in your posession are imported fish (or ones that you froze before 15th May ;) ) During the open season, you can only keep two.
Hopefully that clears up what's on a lot of members' minds.

I guess that depends on what the end product tastes like ...

Couple of posts removed.
The timing of the original post is questionable but the three bass originally mentioned could be legally purchased imported fish, in which case the discussion about how to cook them is reasonable. If they're not imported fish, then at least anyone reading this will now know about the regulations.

Try this:

Pure simplicity! If the fish is fresh I would even skip the butter and lemon. Don't think it'll be salty at all. The fish will absorb just the right amount of salt. You'll be surprised! :wink:

Cooking bass
Bass can get a bit dry when baking. Place a rasher on top. Wrap in tinfoil and bake....... cooking bass for dummies!!!!!!!!
cooking bass whole can be a bland experience if you dont do it right, lock in the flavours etc...both methods you have described do that well....try poaching the fish in some seasoned wine and herbs...also stuffing the bass with some fennel,garlic and shallots work well too...but the key is in the seasoning...and not to overcook the fish...
