now heres the thing with bass. There are many many members of the bass family. So say you go to a restaurant and the menu sais bass as the item. It could be anyone of the fish like striped bass, black bass, sea bass. So what you have to look for is whats in the name. Most restaurants will say what kind of bass it is for the ones that dont your waiter should know what it is. If he doesn't dont eat it LOL
