i dont understand what does salt does to fish .you have fish skin on which salt is applied and then they feel off that skin. what does salt do then

[RobinBenzle]

@fida80 The salt mixed with the egg whites forms a kind of plaster. No air gets in there, so it turns out completely moist. Fish skin can absorb heat, which can dry it out. You don't have to take the skin off at the end if you like eating it.

Does it matter what kind of salt you used? thanks

[RobinBenzle]

@NobbyKNobbs It has to be COARSE salt - Kosher is fine.  Enjoy!

I would suggest serving the fish whole, head on, on the serving dish.
