  11. For a Festive Treat -
  12. I also bake the whole fish in parchment paper. I make a tent out of the paper and secure it with moistened skewers. I also paint a scene on the paper with food coloring, depending on the occasion. For Thanksgiving I paint the sides to look like the sides of a ship with blue waves at the bottom and I attach a skewer on top with a parchment flag with the word Mayflower written on it.).
