@ProximitySymbol you are very offensive but sadly correct, the british cooks some of the worst “foods” in human history
You British can’t cook for shit.
Go back to your mushy vegetables and your bland sauces.
Excellent, recipe. I followed the advice of other reviewers and sprinkled the fish first with olive oil and added egg to the salt water mixture and the crust come out as one piece. The fish was cooked perfectly. Yum!
ummm i can go for some right now
looks amazing
if you sprinkle some extra-virgin olive oil on that sea-bass before adding the salt it’s easier to take off the crust and you will add more flavour.
i just put it in the cavity and get great results (himalayan rose salt), that’s of course they’re willing biters. I don’t touch farmed fish. the other way is to add some soy sauce sparingly for a change of flavor.
if you mix the salt with egg white instead of water, it’s easier to take off as you can take big chunks of it off
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You won’t be so blase when they start reporting the salt crisis, you’ll be saying “why, oh why did Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall use so many pointless tonnes of salt on some fish that are extinct now anyway…the world would have been a better place if he’d never picked up a chef hat” *twitches*
really?
ya save that becuase of the big salt epidemic
i hate bass, well not really, i spent 12 hrs on a beach, me being a well experinced fisherman , fishin for one of these and nothing nada zip nout!! then my 10 year old cousin with a 5 foot boat rod mind you comes down beside an within 10 minites hooks into a 7lb bass. but i still ate more than half of it!!!! lol
Good ol’ Hugh. Laughing all the way to the bank, the ultra-bright, cunning bastard.
its spelt thyme sorry i just wanted to be a smartass
haha
lol simsyland no-one ever gets my jokes….
you dont eat the salt.. its to cook the bass in so it comes moist
I’m sure it’s delicious…but it seems like a waste of salt……
I heard this guy eats humans
i catch sea bass and have cooked this loads of times try filling the cavity with lemon quarters and sprigs of time way better
not bad … but a bit salty though.
sorry hugh, one day got it wrong seen the edit, everybody spit the pike out, lol.
I’ve tried this with redfish and striped bass and it turned out great both times. He wasn’t kidding about sealing up the flaps on the belly though. You can also use a strip of foil to seal it.
Looks incredible. Hugh’s a legend!
Gonna try this when i feel brave enough hugh ftw
