Click to zoomEuro Bass / Branzino (Frozen)
What it is
Euro bass branzino, sold whole and frozen. A small whole fish with delicate white flesh, a mild sweet flavour, and skin that crisps to a shell in a hot oven.
How we handle it
Thaw overnight in the fridge and dry the skin thoroughly before it goes in.
How to cook it
Roast it whole on a tray with lemon, herbs and olive oil for about 20 minutes, or grill it over high heat. One fish serves one person generously. Whole Roasted Branzino with Lemon and Herbs.
Good to know
Whole fish is the cheaper way to eat well — you get the cheeks, the belly and the crisp skin, all the parts fillets leave behind.
