It is one of only six species in its family, Moronidae, collectively called the temperate basses.<\/p>\n<p>It is both fished and raised commercially, and is considered to be the most important fish currently cultured in the Mediterranean. In Ireland and the United Kingdom, the popular restaurant fish sold and consumed as sea bass is exclusively the European bass.[2] In North America it is widely known by its Italian name, branzino.<\/p>\n<p>European bass are a slow-growing species that takes several years to reach full adulthood. An adult European seabass usually weighs around 11 pounds. European bass can reach sizes of up to 1 m (3.3 ft) in length and 12 kg (26 lb) in weight, though the most common size is only about half of that at 0.5 m (1.6 ft). Individuals are silvery grey in color and sometimes a dark-bluish color on the back.<!--?p &gt;&lt;\/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"&gt;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt; &lt;div class=\"mceTemp\"&gt;&lt;dl id=\"attachment_48640\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 2560px\"&gt;&lt;dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"&gt;&lt;a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2020-09-04-005-scaled.jpg\"&gt;&lt;img class=\"size-full wp-image-48640\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2020\/09\/2020-09-04-005-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" ?-->The old man hit 185 this afternoon so I attempted to eat healthy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>We chatted with one of the local couples for a while.
