this article (dated) mentions that branzino wild population was overfished http://www.sfgate.com/food/article/L...sh-2698737.php
a number of fish mongers here in Chicago will carry skate on a regular basis. Saute in a little butter, w/lemon juice & a toss of capers, or marinate with Asian flavors & cook, both easy & delicious.
I've yet to try cobia.

There are a few issues I have with farmed fish
1) Fish like farmed salmon require feed. This is generally fish and fish is sourced worldwide to be converted into pellets. No idea about the impact on these stocks.
2) Disease among farmed fish and possibly creating a contagion that affects wild, native fish (the Norwegians have destroyed their own country). Some enlightened/self-interested fish farmers are moving to inland close containment systems and there is talk of farming in ships (all those bulk carriers and other ships surplus to current requirements).
