Voyager's Delight

Voyager's Delight is a traditional Wilmington dish that was supposedly created by the pirates that inhabited Wilmington prior to Thomas Wilmington's liberation of the island. It is made by coating a fish, most commonly an Arrowtail Perch, in mud from the coastal regions of Wilmington mixed with sea water and cooking it in a makeshift oven.
==History==
Voyager's Delight supposedly came from the marauding pirates that inhabited Wilmington prior to Thomas Wilmington's liberation of the island. The legend goes that having grown sick of barbecued fish, a smart sailor decided to try baking fish in a makeshift oven made from clay while taking a pit-stop at an uninhabited island. Having tasted his creation, the crewmen learnt how to make the dish as well. Upon returning to the pirate's cove on Wilmington, word of the dish spread and many sailors adopted it as an easy method to cook fish should they have a pit-stop on any island. The knowledge of the dish has been handed down to the people of Wilmington even up till today. 
==Preparation==
A fresh fish is caught and covered with mud mixed with seawater from the coastal regions of Wilmington. The mud ball is then placed inside a makeshift oven made out of sand and clay, often prepared on a beach. The oven is lit and the mud ball is left to bake for several hours.
After a few hours, the fire is extinguished and the mud ball is pulled out and left to cool. The mud having dried in the fire, hardens and can be removed easily. The sea water that was inside the mud turns into steam inside the oven and thoroughly cooks the fish inside the mud ball. The result is a lightly steamed fish that is very tender.
Due to being covered in mud mixed with sea water, the fish inherits the salty taste of the sea water which compliments the meat very well. It is a popular dish in Wilmington and beach side stalls can be seen selling these for affordable prices. The dish is easy to prepare and can even be prepared if shipwrecked with few materials, because of this every cadet at Wilmington's naval academy has learnt how to cook this dish should they wish to eat something other than barbecued fish should they be castaway.
