Salt-baked gilt-head bream

Food and drink · San Javier, Mar Menor, Murcia

Image of San Javier, not of the place itself.

The gilthead bream raised in the hypersaline waters of the Mar Menor is baked whole covered by a crust of coarse salt that cooks it in its own steam; it is served with the crust broken at the table and accompanied by a mild allioli.
