3 baked whole fish recipes

A whole fish baked Cuban-style on a bed of sauteed onions and peppers, rubbed with a garlic-oregano paste and bathed in tomato puree, lime juice, and white wine. Feeds 6 in under 80 minutes.

A whole fish sealed in a salt-and-egg-white crust with fresh thyme, then baked until the flesh is impossibly moist and seasoned to the bone. Crack, reveal, devour.
