Salt Encrusted BSB

Capt Fritz’s post got me motivated to thaw out some packs of bsb!!!

Not sure if I posted this in the past (search didn’t turn it up but I wasn’t digging too hard). Anyhow, here is another way to cook the whole fish.
-Course salt (I’ve got packs of it in Algeciras that are unbeatable) mixed with 1 egg white and some vino.
-remove internals, gills, eyes and stuff cavity with onions, garlic & seasonings and some vino.
-have always removed scales, not sure of outcome if left on.
-lay fish on bed of salt mixture then cover fish, chill remaining vino.
-once done it is really good, love it all ways so this is just another option. Have done B-liners and ARS this way also.

Mr Malcolm is the local expert on this method, takes a lot to impress him so it must make the grade.

This hurts my blood pressure just looking at it…

What’s the purpose for this? Meat doesn’t soak up too much salt? Not being a wise arse, just never saw this method used for a fish other than for storage.

I’ve had striper prepared like this and much to my surprise, it wasn’t overly salty at all.

Beautiful dish that dates back before Christ. The fish steams in the salt crust and comes out moist and delicious. Very cool DG34Yf:smiley:

Nice looking dish Man!

Yeah, you don’t eat the crust so the saltiness is minimal. The salt kind of bakes into a shell and is easy to remove. You can do this with pork, chicken, shrimp and beef as well.

Looks good Dave! Never heard of cooking a fish that way but if it is Malcom approved, it must be okay.
