Either way it's nice to see the service staff break the crust and silver serve the fillets. Miles Laura,

However . . . I have long been perplexed by this recipe. The Portuguese claim it as their own, the Italians have a version. But, I think it probably originates elsewhere - it just seems so different from other ways that fish is prepared in the European Mediterranean. I know the Chinese prepare fish this way, but I'm not sure if they are the originators or the recipients of this dish. I've got a hunch its African or Arab at its roots. Of course I have no facts to back up this opinion - just a hunch. I'm going to do a little historical and multiculti digging to see what I can find about the origin for the dish. I'll let you know if I find anything. I've had it as an Italian dish with dill and bay on the fish (under the salt) and with some lemon zest mixed into the salt. I've even heard of some folks using lavender in the salt! Thanks! Laura Hi Miles:
