Sea Bream help

[sashh]

I've just unpacked my supermarket delivery, I ordered 2 fillets of sea bass, they have delivered two whole sea bream.

I don't do fish with heads, not even trout.

I don't want to attempt to fillet them, or cut the heads off.

Has anyone got an easy recipe for a whole (well there are 2 so 2 recipes would be welcome) sea bream?

I'm thinking I can sort of put them in foil parcels but what goes well with them.

I can't freeze them as they have previously been frozen.

Thank you wise MNers.

Baked on top of thinly sliced fennel and onions is nice. Glug a bit of oil and salt and pepper and bake 20 mins or more. Good with rice.

Or just pan fry slowly in oil and butter.

I love whole sea bream-it's delicious!
I bake it as is, with a little salt sprinkled on. Then I open it ip, removing the main bone carefully. Then I mix evoo and lemon juice, with chopped parsley and drizzle over the top.

Whatever you'd do with sea bass. Bream is (taste wise) just a nicer texture than bass.
We bake both with a salt crust then chip off the salt before serving.

@Wallabyone if you are in the West Midlands you can have it.

Thank you others, I'm thinking I will oven bake with lemon. I think the cat will become a fish filled fatty puss.

Thanks again

Hope it was nicer than you were expecting!x

Don’t waste them op.you will be fine and whole fish are fab.

I had pasta instead, but they will be cooked today.

I have lemon, peppers, red onion, mushrooms and garlic so an experiment will take place.
