Pacifico Striped Bass is a sustainably aquacultured (raised in open water ocean pens) fish raised off the Baja Coast and is raised to Best Aquaculture Practices Certification (BAP). This is the highest standard available today to ensure that poor practices are not sickening fish, harming our environment or affecting nearby fisheries. Unlike other aquacultured Striped Bass, Pacifico is genetically identical to Wild Striped Bass. HAACP and FDA certified processes are followed in processing to produce the cleanest, healthiest fish possible for consumption. With 39g of protein in a 7oz serving and a good source of potassium and healthy fats this fish is a true success story in aquacultured fish. Filets run from 1.5lb to 2lb and have a mild, sweet taste with a nice flake.
