Cooking a whole fish can seem intimidating but it's actually really simple and perfect if you're feeding a crowd. While ordering a whole fish at a restaurant is expensive, cooking it at home is done at a fraction of the price. With these 5 simple recipes I'll show you how to expertly cook a whole fish in a variety of ways. From my favourite paper bag chilli snapper, an impressive whole salt baked fish to Chinese style baked barramundi I've got you covered. Or try a sweet and sour cod or a garlic and herb snapper!
