Patagonian toothfish

The Patagonian toothfish, often called Chilean sea bass, is a large, cold-water fish found deep in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica and southern South America. It can grow over 2 meters long and live many decades. Known for its firm, white, and flavorful meat, it is highly valued in high-end cuisine. The fish plays a vital role in its ecosystem, serving as prey for larger predators. Due to its popularity, sustainable fishing practices are important to prevent overfishing and protect its populations from decline.
