Zen you slash through the skin 

Give the ze belly a slice 

Zen you rub some salt in 

'Cos zat makes it taste nice

Another Roasting Tin recipe from Rukmini Iyer, this time with a couple of whole fish. It’s time to get brutal with a paring knife, not unlike the aforementioned Disney chef. 

Prep time was supposed to be 15 mins; it for some reason took me an hour. I think a clean kitchen to begin with is a prerequisite, something I was lacking when I started. 

In contrast to the movie, there’s no explanation in the book on how to properly gut a fish. I had to summon my inner Rene. Also, a word of advice: try not to split too heavily the plastic bag the fish came in if you’re going to use it to store all the trout guts after your recent evisceration. Otherwise you’ll have fish guts all over your floor. Maybe just use a bowl instead. I learned, so you don’t have to. 

Result: a very flavoursome fish, packed with spices, onions and sliced lemon, with flesh falling straight off the bone. The sweet potato base was undercooked, though- perhaps I should have sliced it thinner, or left the oven heating for longer or something. Onions and the fish, though, were bang on.

  1. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
