i sometimes have the bass in le monde in cardiff, they cook it sealed in pounds of rocksalt, special occasions only because of the price, but, if you fancy it, put a gutted scaled bass on a strong ovenproof tray, wet the fish with water to make the salt stick, then cook in a very hot oven time depends on size, but the salt will become rock hard, strip the salt off it will take all the skin and dorsal bones away with it, have it with home made chips and tartar sauce.
forgot to mention to sprinkle the mound of salt before oven with water, also make the salt about three inches over the fish, in spain they would pour a brandy over the hot salt, and light it, fab, had a large sea bream this way in lanzarote for my 50th last year, gasps all round the restuarant.
the encapsulation of the fish ensures its succulent.

Hi Sir Woodsy, personally I hate salt but sounds good anyway especially that it removes the dorsal bones, I just wrap mine in tin foil for about 25-35 mins.

the salt dosn't taste at all, its just traditionally used as a protection for the fish in villages where salt is plenty full.

Sounds devine. I usualy wrap it in foil with loads of salted butter,lemon & lime zest & loads of corriander. Tho may give the salt a go. mmmm Am hungry now.
