Frequently asked questions
How long does white fish take to bake?
A whole smaller fish bakes for 12 to 18 minutes at 200°C, depending on its size. Fillets take 8 to 12 minutes. The fish is done when the flesh comes away easily from the bones.
How do you season fish?
Best kept minimal — salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic, parsley and lemon. The Mediterranean tradition sticks to simplicity so that the flavour of the fish comes through.
Which fish is the best value?
Oily fish (sardines, mackerel, anchovies) and frozen hake fillets are the best value and excellent for everyday cooking.
