Thank you very much. I have also always thought that "loup" means wolf, and wondered if it could be "wolf fish", but do not know for sure if that exists, since I am vegetarian. I will assume, for the future, that "sea bass" is the correct translation.

Seien wir ehrlich: Schick essen gehen ist wie ein Hindernislauf. Auf dem Tisch liegt mehr Besteck als in der Küchenschublade zu Hause, und die Karte ist ein Fremdwörterbuch ohne Übersetzung. Amuse gueule, Angel-Loup, Digestif, was war das alles noch gleich? Die Fettnäpfchen lauern überall. Und dann kommt auch noch die schlimmste aller Fragen: "Welcher Wein soll es denn sein?" Spätestens jetzt bricht den meisten der Schweiß aus. Macht das Spaß? Nein.

agree  msherms: I agree that loup is bass (though I always thought that loup means wolf), am just wondering how you translated the angel bit. I am sure it is right, just wondering how you came about it. Also - vielen Dank für die Antwort..dann schmeckt er himmlisch gut!

  -> "ein frisch aus dem Meer geangelter Fisch" as per ref. Hat absolut nichts mit Engeln zu tun ;-)
