I am now armed with a list of herbs and spices (baharatlar) in Turkish (çok teşekkur. You know who you are).
I have been given a bag of fish and told it is my turn to cook dinner. , I can see what looks suspiciously like eyeballs glaring at me through the frozen bag so i am presuming there is at least one whole fish in there. I am from the UK and therefore a bit delicate wben it comes to eating eyeballs but i'm sure my host and his family will enjoy.

Anyone have any traditional recipes i can use?
They have hardly any spices (i am nipping into carrefours for some when you guys give me some ideas (she says hopefully). I have fish, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, black pepper, chilli peppers in the kitchen at present.

Someone give me some ideas LÃœTFENNNNNNNNNN

Oh and ı cannot reply to my prıvate messages on this pc for some reason......so you will have to get me at sillyyaktr@hotmail.com.

Put the fish whole on a tray in the oven.

Add slices of onion, thick slices of tomato, olives, thick slices of lemon and lots of fresh parsley leaves. Drizzle over plenty of olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Bake for about an hour in a hottish oven (about 200 degrees). At the half way stage you may want to turn the fish over. Serve with green salad.

PS You don't need to chop the head off, or fillet the fish. Your Turkish dinner guests will be used to knowing what to do. Just don't serve the cooked lemon chunks, all of the rest can go on the plate.

This is so easy and really healthy.
