                                Initially known as the Patagonian toothfish, Chilean sea bass was rebranded for marketing and has since faced significant sustainability and health issues that make it a seafood to avoid. Despite international efforts to regulate its capture, illegal fishing and high mercury levels remain a major concern for consumers and conservationists alike.
