Chilean Sea Bass? No. Atlantic Sea Bass(along with virtually every other kind of eatin' fish in the North Atlantic's coastal waters)? Yes. Hell, we now get Yellowfin running not so far offshore.
Chilean Sea Bass is VERY tasty, VERY good, and the high oil content can sneak up on you if you're not careful. Just beware what I'd written above and you should be fine. Nowadays, if I was to eat another 2 LBS steak of the stuff, I'd work up to it to get my system used to the oil before I just went and chowed-down on it after a month or eating lean red meat and/or chicken.
Now if you wanted to booby-trap someone or pay them back for some kind of insult without hurting much more than their pride/ego and perhaps some clothes and (if you're unlucky) a chair, then feeding someone not used to high levels of Omega-3 fat and oils will certainly do the job (and taste GREAT at the same time!).
The initial wet fart is the first clue, except it might actually be larger (and oilier) than anticipated. I've been told it's similar to having accidentally ingested (by spray or drops) a very small amount of aircraft hydraulic fluid (I've been told just a couple of drops can violently clean someone out when they're least expecting it), but not NEARLY as potent, which is why you can work up to the level of fish you'd like to eat. Of course, the natives are used to eating such high amounts of this fish, so they suffer no ill effect at all.
If I could afford it and my wife liked it, I'd be eating it all the time. VERY tasty fish, takes many different marinades very well, and to limit its consumption (if you're not used to it), most people familiar with it cook it in chunks on kabobs (which is what I recommend unless you already eat a lot of high oil fish).
Fixing it on kabobs is pretty safe and almost fool-proof so they don't get too much (unless you have someone who you want to get some pay-back on) at one time.
It's GOOD STUFF, just you need to get used to it before having large quantities.
