:drool: salt and fish. :drool:

I love salt crusting items before cooking them and makes them so freaking juicy.

If I can find a whole fish you bet your mortage I am trying this!

I never heard of that method before. I love fish & I think I would have eaten it until the last bite.

I admit, I’ve been tempted to try salt-encrusted fish, but, as embarrassing as this is, the whole fish head/eye thing really creeps me out.

Hi Mike,
Terrific post! I believe you when you said that this fish turned out beautifully. The first time I had salt-bakes fish was in Italy. I was so surprised that the fish didn’t turn out salty. In Singapore, they also sell salt-baked chicken, but I’ve not tried that myself.

Have a nice weekend ahead,
Nora

jealousy! i tried this a few months ago, and it was a wreck! although the bits of snapper i managed to fish out were perfectly cooked and delicious, my crust was a mess and my fish spontaneously combusted when i tried to carve it. i’ve been waiting for a suitable period of time to go by before trying again.

Awesome post Mike! I had salt crusted fish years ago at my friends house. It was amazingly moist and flavorful. I have never made and it has been off my radar ever since–until now.
The pictures are stunning.
