Grilled Sea Bream with Grapes, Capers, and Clams
This bright and flavourful dish is a showstopper at any dinner party! Pair with a chilled bottle of Mirabeau Pure Provence Rosé for a feast your guests are bound to talk about for weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 whole sea bream *
- 200 g Clams well rinsed and ready to use
- 200 g Samphire also called Sea Asparagus
- 1 small bunch of Grapes
- 80 g caper berries drained and rinsed
- 20 g parsley
- Olive Oil
- sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Rinse and dry your sea bream and place in a large roasting tray. With a sharp knife, score three or four lines across the fish from the spine to the belly on both sides. You are aiming to just cut the skin but not too much flesh.
- Rub the whole fish with olive oil and salt and roast for 30 minutes.
- Remove and test with a skewer, if the meat gives way and you go right through with the skewer it is cooked.
- Add the clams, grapes, caper berries, and samphire around the edge and roast for a further 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley, serve on a platter, and let your guests dig in.
Notes
I’ve used a big fish about 2.5kg gutted and scaled. You can use multiple smaller fish if you like, just adjust the cooking time.

Pan Fried Red Mullet fillets on Courgette Noodles with Tomato Coulis
Red Mullet or Rouget is firm, easy to cook and reputedly very healthy, so the only downside is that it has quite a lot of bones – of the kind that are too big to swallow. I resort to using tweezers to get the bones out, you can see a line of bones on the fillet and once you’re used to it you get pretty quick at removing them, yes it’s a bit of work but well worth the trouble. Always feel the whole fish with your fingers when you’re done, as you should be able to find any errant bones with your fingertips. The fish shrinks in cooking, so you need to count 3 or 4 fillets per person.
