Fish
Whole
Cod whole is the intact fish for roasting, steaming, or salt curing. On the bone, flesh stays moister; a whole fish makes a dramatic table piece with simple seasoning. Scale, gut, and score; stuff lightly with herbs and lemon if desired. Cook until the flesh near the backbone flakes—carryover heat finishes the thickest part.
