How do you bake or grill freshwater bass?

To bake freshwater bass, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the fish with salt, pepper, and herbs, then place it in a greased baking dish with a splash of lemon juice and some sliced vegetables if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork. For grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, brush the fish with oil, season, and grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through.
