Also, there is some MSC certified sustainable Chilean Sea Bass. Seafood Watch even mentions this. I believe there are 4 fisheries now that are considered sustainable.
Branzino on the other hand is a reasonably safe product of aquaculture both in Europe (mainly France) and North America. "Chilean Seabass" would not be typical of the Greek diet.
Here is a brief breakdown with the market name on the left:
Sea Bass - a generic name which can be many different fish.
Chilean Sea Bass - Pantagonian Toothfish or Antarctic Toothfish; not a bass
Black Sea Bass - a true sea bass, usually sold as Black Sea Bass or Atlantic Sea Bass
Branzino - see pierino's answer above
There are others which are called "sea bass" as well, but these are the fish mentioned in this thread. If the store said "chilean sea bass" then that is what you should call it. Hope that helps a little.

-take the steak or fillet (steaks seem to be more readily available than fillets). Remove bones.
- place fish on parchment paper.
-drizzle a little soy sauce, maybe a litte sesame oil, a tsp or so of sambal oelek (optional), top the fish with some thinly sliced shallots or scallions & julienned ginger.
-wrap up fish, into a little packet. you don't need to wrap it tight, just make sure it's secure and none of the juices will leak out.
- place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 400 for about 10-15 depending on how think your fish is.
Then serve individual packages with some rice or steamed vegetables.
This is just a blueprint. Experiment and top with other seasons or sauces that you like. I also like a little Thai curry paste, fish sauce, and some bamboo shoots.
oh, so excited!! Thank you!
