A hearty fish that cooks up silky and sweet, the striped bass is pure Atlantic royalty. A storied culinary fixture in the history (and hearts) of Montauk, stripers are line-caught off the coast of Long Island, a 21st century paragon of sustainability. These rich, striped bass fillets with firm, white flakes holds up well with a variety of preparations, a favorite being poached with a topping of fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic.
