Good fish doesn't need any additional tricks, and a salt shell is a surefire way to cook fish with almost no effort. This recipe is about how to cook carp, but trout and any other small fish will do. The only condition is that the fish is whole, not filleted. Then it will take as much salt as it needs, and thanks to the shell it will definitely not burn.
