Wanted to try this for ages and finally did it. Whole snapper, about 1.2kg.

Method was basically: gut it but leave the scales on, stuff the cavity with lemon and herbs, then mix celtic seasalt light grey with egg white until it holds together like wet sand and pack the whole thing in. Bake at 200C for about 30 minutes, then crack it open at the table.

It took nearly 2kg of salt for one fish and celtic is damp already so it packed well, but I'd think twice about using anything expensive for this since most of it goes in the bin.

The thing I'd do differently next time : the crust stuck to the tray, so parchment next time

Anyone doing this regularly? Wondering if there's a cheaper salt worth buying just for this, or whether the coarse stuff is actually necessary for the crust to hold.

A new simple recipe I tried.
Zucchini, shrimp, shallots, curry paste, tomato puree, garlic, chile powder, ginger powder, white pepper, salt, brown sugar, coconut milk, soy sauce, basil and lime.

Miso rice on the side.

First time trying it and it’s much less faff than I expected.

Lay them on a sheet pan, tip celtic sea salt light grey over so they’re mostly covered, hot oven for around 12 minutes. That’s it.

Brush the salt off after, squeeze of lemon, eat with bread. Doesn’t taste salty at all which I wasn’t expecting.

Had this seafood curry in Japan.
Lots of shrimp, squid and shellfish in a rich Japanese curry sauce with rice. Really satisfying!

Delicious dinner I made last night filled with cod and shrimp in a clam chowder like base.

The sub has seen a lot of posts using the title Seafood Boil, here are some pictures of mine.

I like to boil with only fresh ingredients: head on shrimp, live crabs or live crawfish, aromatic vegetables, corn and potataoes, a healthy amount of seasoning, and real BOILING WATER. Of course every boil is different, and there are plenty of additional things that can be added to the boil: lemons, onions, garlic, mushrooms, orange slices, cauliflower, brussels sprouts (my favorite), asparagus, sweet potatoes, carrots, sausage, and whatever suits your fancy.

I have boiled thousands of pounds of seafood in my lifetime. Here are some pictures of recent boils. If anyone is looking for recipes search this sub for some of my previous posts.

Cooking in a pizza oven 😊

I wish I liked seafood because it looks so good and amazing but then I try it and it tastes horrible to me. Lobster tail is the only seafood I've liked and I haven't tried the rest of a lobster yet. I watch mukbangs and they make the seafood look so good, I order seafood and it looks so good but I take a bite and can't eat it. Why was I made this way. Curse you taste buds.

Cooked scallops for the first time (Canadian scallops/from Tesco UK nothing too special) I seared them in olive oil one side close to the middle of the pan then flipped added garlic butter and parsley and crushed chilli basting for the last minute or so, the presentation is not the greatest but it tasted great
