Gilthead

This is a gilt-head bream (notice the gold-coloured stripe next to the eyes), or daurade in French. My local Morrisons had piles of them at half price, so I suspect people are put off by the fact it’s an entire fish. In fact it’s already scaled and gutted, and all you need to do is put it under the grill… As the Wikipedia article says:

The gilt-head bream is generally considered the best-tasting of the breams

Tastes great, looks cool and on top of that at a bargain price…
