Ingredients

    * 2 Whole Sea bass of 1-1/4lb./550g cleaned.
    * 4-1/2lb/2k. of coarse sea salt.
    * 1 clove of garlic, crushed.
    * 4 tbls. of Extra Virgen Olive Oil.
    * 2 tbls. of fresh lemon juice.
    * 1 level tsp. of salt.
    * 2 good tsps. of honey.
    * 1 heaped tsp. of dried dill.
    * 1 tsp. of aromatic chilli oil.

Method

   1. OK - first layer a large earthenware dish (big enough to hold the fish without touching the sides) with 1/2" of the salt. 
   2. Now - take the fish  - which should be kept damp and lay them on the salt.
   3. Pile the rest of the salt on top.
   4. Pat it down and sprinkle a little water on top to keep it moist.
   5. Place the earthenware in a preheated oven at 400ºf/200ºc. for 30 minutes.
   6. Meanwhile make your sauce.
   7. Put all the ingredients except the oil in a glass bowl.
   8. Now whisk the oil in one tablespoon at a time with a hand whisk.
   9. Take the fish out of the oven, turned down to low and pop in some dinner plates to warm.
  10. The salt will have turned into a hard crust so gently break it with  mallet and remove from the fish.
  11. The skin will come away from the flesh quite easily and you will be able to remove the fillets and arange them on your dinner plates.
  12. You can then sprinkle with the sauce and eat.
  13. If you prefer the traditional method - just use a pinch of salt and a squeeze of Lemon juice.
