Cook it at home

Whole grilled fish with garlic and chili oil (a la bilbaína)

45 min, 30 min hands-on · 2 to 3 people. The Getaria turbot, at home: a whole fish grilled on the bone stays juicy, and the sizzling garlic, chili and vinegar oil poured over at the end is the Basque finish. Turbot, branzino, sea bream or snapper all work; a fish basket makes turning easy.
