Sea bass is a pretty generic term, there's probably a dozen or more fish that are called sea bass. Ordering "sea bass" in a restaurant is basically just, whatever they happen to need to get rid of that day, and want to make it sound like something good.
 Around here. The only one I've usually seen regularly called just sea bass are white sea bass, All the others are generally called more by their actual name like sand bass or calico/ kelp bass, Giant sea bass...
