In Manhattan I see striped bass on the menu all the time in the seafood/italian restauraunts - I always laugh and obvisously being a striperman I tell my friends we'll just cook one up 3 hours after she's been in the water, fresh on the grille. Also, the price of a striper per lb in nyc fishmarkets ranges from $11 - $14 - NO i'm not kidding. On the menu's in the restauraunts I see striped bass in cilantro/chilean sauce for about $25 - prob straight from E. River....
