Enjoy Sea Salt Encrusted Baked Fish along the Turkish Coast
 Queen of Datca Chef & The Salt Encased Fish What could be more natural and tasty than a freshly caught Adriatic fish baked in a sea salt covering and served, where else….on deck on your Gulet charter along the southern coast of Turkey? Part of the cuisine of several countries, salt encrusted baked fish is often done in Turkey and is a delightful treat when anchored in a secluded harbor floating on turquoise colored waters. Recently on the 115’ Gulet Queen of Datca in Marmaris, Turkey, we were treated to this delicacy. Encased and baked in the salt, the fish retains natural moisture, while the salt absorbs any steam so that the fish bakes gently in its own moisture rather than being steamed. And the final presentation can’t be beat, as the fish comes to the table in its salt encasement, which is “cracked” with a flourish to reveal the moist tender fish inside.
