Gradvalax

This was good!  Still loads to eat. Phew. The recipe is so simple, just sugar, salt & dill. It needs 4 days before opening it up.  It is very worth the wait.  Wow.  It is honestly the best Gravadlax I've ever eaten. There are many quicker methods about, but I can vouch for this one from a lovely book called, Falling Cloudberries.  You don't need any special equipment, just silver foil & a bit of space in the fridge! I got my fish un-gutted from an early morning Billingsgate Market session.  I had never gutted something so big, it was a bit daunting to be honest.  I had my brother in law staying over with his little boy, and I remember them waking up to find me in the kitchen elbow deep in fish guts. I think they were pretty horrified.  But that's what you get for staying the night at the H.B.A.!  My kids are getting quite used to seeing things like that now. FOR METHOD SEE BELOW:
