How to prepare stuffed tench in the oven

Clean, empty, wash the tench thoroughly under running water, then dry it with a cloth.

Chop the capers and olives, put them in a bowl with the breadcrumbs, the whole egg, the parsley, the onion, the garlic, the anchovy, salt and pepper.

Fill the tench with the mixture and tie it with a colorless thread.


Cut the butter into small pieces, put it in a pan with a spoonful of oil, part of the bay leaf and sage, place the tench on top, sprinkle it with the remaining bay leaf, sage and oil.

Cover the container with an aluminum foil and transfer it to the oven for forty-five minutes, occasionally sprinkling the fish with its cooking base.

At the end of cooking remove bay leaf and sage and serve on the table.
