I wish for fish right on my dish

March 22, 2009 4:56 PM

About nine years ago I spent a couple of days in Tossa de Mar on Spain's Costa Brava. One night we had a fantastic buttery-garlicky fish dish which my memory (and Google) tells me was called cimi tomba. Does anyone know of the recipe for this masterpiece of Catalan cuisine?

Here is a recipe (auto-translated) or here if you read Spanish.

And here is a description of its ingredients when the dish began (scroll to Sept. 1).

For the sake of interest - the name translates (from Catalan) to "Summit and Tomb"...
