As promised, the mighty fish!

I told the fishmonger I wanted a sea bream to feed two, and he must have seen me coming because he sold me this 2kg monster which was more than even Sam and I could eat at one sitting (thought we did our best). I slashed its sides and stuffed them with garlic, ginger and what I thought was coriander (it actually turned out to be parsley but no great harm was done). Then I laid it in foil on a bed of sliced carrots and spring onions, sloshed some sesame oil, soy sauce and Shao Shing (alliteration unintentional) Chinese wine over it, closed the foil parcel, and baked it in the oven. It took a whole hour before it was cooked, by which time the rice was cold, but it didn't matter. Utterly delicious.
