Whole Fish Baked in Salt

Many months ago, the Blogsister, Nancy, sent me a recipe for baked fish in salt.  I filed the recipe in that pending file, with hopes of one day having the time and inclination to bake fish in salt.  Earlier in the year, we tried the baked fish in salt on the menu at the Rome Cavalieri. It was one of the best meals ever. So, last night we had the time and inclination to make the fish in salt. It couldn't have been easier. It was absolutely delicious, too. The most challenging part of the recipe is removing the salt crust after baking. It gets rock-solid hard, and one needs to exercise care and precision cracking and removing the crust. A fun dish to prepare with a guest or two.
