the most annoying thing reading this thread (from a fishermans point of view) is the over use of the word Sea bass...
its just bass! or shall we start using the words sea cod, sea herring, sea pollock...People from the USA are excused as they have a freshwater bass :-D

From wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_seabass

"Debate has been ferocious in Britain in recent years as to the origin of the word "seabass". The traditional word was "bass" but that has changed with the recent popularity of cooking programmes and the expansion of restaurant marketing, both of which have adopted the phrase "seabass". There is only one type of bass in the British Isles and thus the expression "seabass" is probably unnecessary , although the Large Mouth (or Black) Bass indigenous to North America has been widely stocked in Southern Europe with significant breeding populations in many lakes and rivers in South Western France. Thus the distinction is valid in a European context."

I just knew it as bass too, but the times they are a changing
