Spigola is another name for this fish. Ask the fishmonger to fillet it for you, but leave the skin on. Serve with orzo.

Servings: 6

Ready Time: 10 minutes

Wine Pairings: I’d suggest chardonnay for the sea bass were it not for the zippy chutney, which suggests a crisper style. In this case, a bright, red Beaujolais is a fine choice. - Beppi Crosariol
