Delicate, refined, and exceptionally clean, 7-Day Dry-Aged Branzino highlights the elegance of European sea bass when treated with expert precision. Naturally lean with fine, silky flesh, Branzino benefits from short-term dry-aging that enhances flavor clarity while preserving its light, fresh character.
Our store is one of only five places in the United States that specialize in dry-aging fish, applying meticulous control over temperature, humidity, and airflow. Over 7 days, excess moisture is reduced, and natural enzymes refine texture, resulting in a Branzino that is more structured, subtly umami-forward, and beautifully balanced - without overpowering its natural delicacy.
Available whole or as a carefully trimmed fillet, this offering is ideal for refined Mediterranean preparations, sashimi-style slicing, or elegant plated dishes.
