Sea bass

The Sea Bass is the most common oceanic fish in the. Appearing all day and all year, many a fisherman has caught a sea bass hoping for something rare, such as a Coelacanth, because of its large shadow - which is reflected by the player's quote when catching it.

Donating to the Museum
Like all fish and insects in Animal Crossing, the sea bass can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, the curator. He will tell the player some information about it when donating it.

In City Folk
"...Ah, hoo, the sea bass. In some parts of the world, these fish have a different name as juveniles. They change names once they mature, eh wot? What's more, these names can differ from region to region... It's almost as if the sea bass is some sort of secret agent, eh wot?'""

The sea bass will appear in the ocean fish tank located at the back of the aquarium section of the museum.

In New Leaf
The information board for the sea bass says: "Sea bass are famous for their delicious white meat as well as their large size. If they ingest something inedible, they open up their mouths and gills and violently shake their heads. This generally manages to expel the foreign material, though it has the added effect of looking rather odd. Much like their freshwater cousins, sea bass have a strong pull, making them a great challenge for anglers."
