About this dish
A whole sea bass of 1kg scored to the bone and stuffed with bruised lemongrass and ginger, laid on a bed of Thai basil and makrut lime leaf and closed inside banana leaves. Over it a red curry custard of coconut cream and egg that sets mousse-like around the fish as it steams and works its way into every cut. A fresh dipping sauce of coriander, mint, lime and fish sauce comes separately. Garlic fried rice and a cool cherry tomato salad stand alongside. One whole sea bass in its banana leaf for four, with an extra portion of red curry sauce, and the dipping sauce, the garlic rice and the tomato salad each packed separately.

"That sea bass in banana leaf was absolutely delicious! Thai flavors aren't normally my everyday thing, but this was perfect. It fell right off the bone and that sauce... heavenly! Really good value for money, this is definitely going on repeat."
