While clarification on the flour would be nice, the description is merely:

To me that would ordinarily mean a fish is meant to be fried, but this is indeed a baked fish. The other thing I found interesting about this recipe is the third ingredient: This fish is flour coated, then. (Please note: I recommend buying locally, buying fresh, and seeking out sustainable and ecologically responsible fish whenever possible.) As snapper was the only whole fish available at our local market on the day of our preparations, this is what we ended up cooking. Yes, the “common bream” / “fresh water bream” aka Abramis brama does exist, but Sunfish and Bream are actually considered synonymous: for example, types of breams include the “Dollar Sunfish” the “Banded Sunfish” the “Green Sunfish” and the “Red ear Sunfish”… and while there is rampant confusion and mislabeling of fish in the world today, all things being equal, the common snapper is a member of the bream family, and “Red Snapper” and “Red Sea Bream” are in the same family. “Bream” is less “a very specific, single kind of fish” than it is a category of fish! If you ask simply for “bream” at a shop, you may be met with some very confused stares. The “second fish” listed is nice, but the picture clearly shows only a single fish however, I have an explanation for this which you should know before you attempt this recipe. However, this year one recipe from the illustrious Queen of Sauce has some interesting additions:

Baked fish! It can be as simple as you like it, of course–sea food takes very well to simple preparations and it really doesn’t take a lot to make a good fish taste great. Well, it just so happens we have a great idea for cooking up your catch–both in game and in real life. You ever spend the day fishing in Stardew Valley, look at everything you’ve caught, and realize you haven’t eaten in like, five-six hours and all those fish are starting to sound pretty good right about now? (I for one cannot relate, I generally wait until my stomach starts shriveling into dust before I break out of the trance that is mining for iridium ore in the desert mines of the skull cavern.)
