Whole Backed Fish

Description

A whole fish, carefully scored and baked to perfection, coated in a vibrant paste of fresh ginger, garlic, crushed chilies, zesty lemon, and a complex blend of ground Ceylon spices. The slow baking locks in all the natural moisture, keeping the fish tender, juicy, and aromatic. A classic Sri Lankan coastal specialty, this dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice, string hoppers, or a light salad. Bold, fragrant, and full of island flavor, whole baked fish is a show-stopping dish that celebrates the freshness of seafood and the richness of Sri Lankan spices.
