English Translation

Sewin is the Welsh sea trout. The flesh is pink and salmon like and on the coast of Cardigan Bay this is often the first choice for the main course for a St David's day meal.

Ingredients:

1 large sewin (sea trout)
Bunch of fresh dill, fennel leaves or other garden herbs such as sorrelsorrel, lemon balm or parsley
Salt — Halen Môn (Anglesey sea salt), of course!

Method:

Leave the sewin whole and simply gut it and wash well. Rub the fish with salt inside and out. Fill the inside of the fish with the dill or other fresh herbs. Bake in a medium hot oven for 30 minutes. Put the cooked sewin on a large, warmed serving platter and serve with boiled potatoes and peas.
