Pacifico Aquaculture farmed striped bass are open-ocean raised striped bass, not to be confused with the hybrid species currently farmed in freshwater ponds and lakes. These ocean-raised striped bass have a clean mouth feel and semi-firm texture.

The fish is ideal to cook with because the high fat content allows for many preparations methods, including whole, raw, grilling, poaching and braising. Cooked, it has a flaky texture with a skin that crisps beautifully.

Pacifico is the only four-star Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) striped bass. Four stars is the highest designation in the BAP program - this signifies that a product originates from a BAP-certified farm, processing plant, hatchery, and feed mill.
