How to Cook Sand Bass Fish

Sand bass are not only easy to catch, they are also delicious on your plate. The sand bass, or white bass, is a carnivorous freshwater fish that grows up to 16 inches in length. When sand bass are not frightened, they take live bait quickly, making them easy to catch for the novice angler. Though the sand bass has slightly oily flesh, if prepared correctly its meat is flavorful and firm. Cooking cleaned sand bass fillets is quick, easy, and remarkably tasty.

Things You'll Need

  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • Small bowl
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. salt
  • Shallow pan
  • Spoon
  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • Skillet
  • Meat thermometer

Instructions

  1. Pour the olive oil into a bowl big enough to hold one of your fillets.

  2. Combine cornmeal, flour, pepper and salt in a shallow pan, such as a pie pan, or on a large plate. Stir the mixture with a spoon to blend it. This will be your breading, and you want it to be well incorporated.

  3. Coat each side of a sand bass fillet in the olive oil, then roll it the breading mixture. Set the coated fillets to the side.

  4. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the sand bass fillets into the preheated pan and fry for eight minutes per inch of thickness on each side. The fish is done cooking when a thermometer stuck into the thickest part reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

  5. Remove the sand bass from the pan and allow the fillets to cool for five minutes before serving.
