My wife has just announced ' I want fish for for dinner this weekend', which only happens a few times a year (usually in a restaurant). I'm thinking a whole fish, picked apart on the dining table with a tasty few sides. Any suggestions on types of fish/sides/way to cook it?

Wild sea bass baked on a bed of veg. There is a Nigel Slater recipe but it's very straightforward.

I had some lovely turbot as part of a hawksmoor tasting menu a few years ago that was served on the table and looked great, they don't have a recipe i could find (maybe in the hawksmoor at home book) but i'm sure there are recipes for something decent out there...

My favourite fish for this would be bream (sea/black/gilt) - you can grill, fry or oven bake, the flesh is delicious, firm and creamy and the bones easily negotiated.

I always like to en papillotte fish.

There’s a Nigel slater recipe which is baked sea bass on tomatoes, capers and anchovies. It’s properly simple and delicious in equal measure. Serve with your preference of carbs and salad.
