Our 4 favourite recipes for striped bass

The Springhills family could not be more excited to hook a supply of striped bass from New Brunswick. Striped bass is a refined white fish with gentle sweetness, firm texture and rich, buttery flakes.

Springhills striped bass is harvested by Indigenous fishers from Natoaganeg First Nation, and caught from the province’s tidal rivers where ocean and freshwater meet.

Here are some of our favourite (and simple!) ways to enjoy this deliciously Canadian fish:

1. Striped bass with white wine, tomato and basil sauce
