Suzuki or Sea Bass is a delicious summertime fish. Its flesh can be either firm or soft, depending on the cut. If cut from the belly, the meat is quite high in fat content and has a very soft mouthfeel. Cuts of meat from other parts of the fish are somewhat firm and a little chewy but still retain a wonderful, sweet flavour.
