Frozen Sea Bass Fillet – Skin On (180–250g)

Cooking Instructions

Our skin-on sea bass fillets are quick and easy to prepare, whether you prefer crispy pan-fried fish, oven baking or the convenience of an air fryer.

For best results: Defrost overnight in the refrigerator and pat dry with kitchen paper before cooking. Season lightly with salt, pepper and a little olive oil.

Pan-Fried – For Delicious Crispy Skin

1. Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
2. Place the fillet skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for the first 20–30 seconds to prevent curling.
3. Cook for approximately 4–5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
4. Turn and cook for another 2–3 minutes, depending on thickness.
5. Finish with a knob of butter, fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.

Air Fryer – Quick & Easy

1. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
2. Lightly brush the fillet with olive oil and season to taste.
3. Place skin-side up in the air fryer basket.
4. Cook for approximately 8–12 minutes, depending on thickness.

Oven Baked

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
2. Place the fillet skin-side up on a lightly oiled baking tray.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and herbs.
4. Bake for approximately 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness.

Important: Cooking times are approximate and based on fully thawed fillets. Cook until the thickest part reaches an internal temperature of 63°C.
