Fishermans Tale Striped BassWild striped bass, often called striper or rockfish, have supported one of the most

mportant commercial and recreational fisheries on the Atlantic coast for

centuries. According to early records, striped bass were so abundant at one time

hey were used to fertilize fields.

However, overfishing and poor environmental conditions led to the collapse of the

fishery in the 1980s. Through management coordinated by the Atlantic States

Marine Fisheries Commission, along with the dedication of commercial and

recreational fishermen, the stock was rebuilt in 1995. Scientists and managerscontinue to monitor Atlantic striped bass to support this valuable fishery.

Wild striped bass has a more pronounced taste and a coarser texture than farmed

striped bass, which has a more delicate, slightly sweet flavor. Striped bass have

ight-colored flesh with firm, large flakes. They are a good source of low-fat protein

and work wonderfully with a variety of cooking techniques, especially roasting

and grilling.
