Chilean Seabass = Mero

It is merluza negra , usually you only find it frozen. Mero is what the Chileans call it,but I believe it is a different fish here. I could be wrong on that though. They have it in the large Chinese on Mendoza,frozen for sure. Coto sometimes has it too.

The Latin name for Patagonian toothfish is Dissostichus eleginoides. It is sold under the trade names Chilean sea bass in the USA; Merluza negra in Argentina, Peru and Uruguay; Legine australe in France; Mero, in Japan and Bacalao de profundidad in Chile.
The name "Chilean sea bass" was invented by a fish wholesaler named Lee Lantz in 1977. He was looking for a name that would make it attractive to the American market. He considered "Pacific sea bass" and "South American sea bass" before settling on "Chilean sea bass".[sup][2][/sup][sup][3][/sup] In 1994, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted "Chilean sea bass" as an "alternative market name" for Patagonian toothfish.[sup][2][/sup]
