Whole fish in foil baked in embers
A simple way to cook whole fish that seals in all the flavor.
1 After the fish is cleaned, put a small
pat of butter, some lemon slices, and
a few of the herbs inside the cavity
of each fish. Season with salt and
pepper. Now rub each fish in olive oil
to prevent it from sticking to the foil
and wrap in a generous parcel of 2 or
3 layers of foil. Make sure that it is
completely sealed so that the juices
do not leak out.
SERVES 4
TIME TO COOK 15 MINS
4 whole trout or 1 or 2 large
salmon, cleaned and gutted
1 tbsp butter
2 lemons, sliced
handful of herbs (thyme,
oregano, basil, parsley, or
a mix of your choice)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 Carefully place the foil parcels in the
glowing embers of a fire (you will
need a set of tongs). You do not have
to completely cover the packages, just
nestle them into the ashes. You would
normally allow 15-20 minutes to cook
the fish in an oven, but the heat will
be more intense in the fire, so check
the fish after 12-14 minutes.
salt and pepper
This is the most delicious and
satisfying way to cook fish that you
have caught yourself.
