About Sea Bream Greek Recipe
When you buy Sea Bream you have two choices: you buy a cleaned fish or you still have to clean it yourself. Or you should be lucky to have friends who are good at cleaning these fish, otherwise it could be a bit of work. The work will mainly consist of removing the scales, opening the fish and removing its guts. I recommend that you choose to buy the fish already cleaned. It saves some work and time, but if you like to do it yourself, you are of course free to do so.
The great thing about this fish is that you can bake it easily. You need a few ingredients and you can really make a fantastic dish. Because it is a Greek recipe, beautiful flavors must of course be brought together. To roasting the fish it will takes 10-15 minutes for each side.
