Bass, Hybrid Striped
Hybrid striped bass are a cross between marine stripe bass and freshwater white bass resulting in a fish with desirable characteristics of both species. Striped bass is also known as stripers, wipers, sunshine bass, rockfish, and seabass. Wild striped bass are long and narrow and have straight uninterrupted stripes. Hybrids are smaller, rounder and have broken stripes.
Due to strict water quality control, farm-raised striped bass has consistently good flavor and is hardier, more resistant to disease, and produces a higher yield than its wild counterpart.
