The fish by itself was not good. The mango salsa saved the meal, but I prefer the fish to be edible by itself, and I just didn't like this. I love fish, but this just didn't quite live up to expectations. I wish I had stuck with my mango salsa from snapper with mango salsa, and used those spices on the fish. I don't think I'll make this again. Sorry
