Gilt-head Bream

Easily identifiable by the golden crescent between its eyes, the gilt-head bream possesses dense, juicy, and very white flesh. It tolerates baking whole exceptionally well (encased in a coarse salt crust). This mineral shell hermetically traps the steam and moisture released by the fish, acting as a natural steam oven. The fish cooks in its own juices and aromas, yielding extremely hydrated flesh, ready to be delicately lifted from the central bone at the moment of service.
