  1. Clean the sea bream and cut it into pieces. Coat the pieces with flour. Heat oil or manteca (lard) in a skillet and fry the fish until golden, then transfer the pieces to a clay cooking pot (cazuela de barro).
  2. In the same skillet, toast a bit of flour until golden. Add water and pour this sauce over the fish in the pot.
  3. In a mortar, pound together one garlic clove, parsley, and toasted almonds into a paste. Dilute this picada with water and pour it over the fish. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and serve.
