Sea bass
Prohibited in: Most countries
Reason: Deleted population
Before 1977, there was little information about the Chilean seabass because, frankly, it didn’t exist at all. No, the fish had changed its name to Patagonian toothfish and had not just appeared out of nowhere. The more attractive name made the delicately succulent deep-sea fish an instant hit both at home and abroad. The Chilean sea bass has become an endangered species due to overfishing. As a result, many countries, including the US, have banned the import and sale of sea bass that do not have the required documentation proving that they come from one of the approved fisheries.
