Made it for PAC 2010. I do cook fish all the time and usually grill whole fish so this looked very interesting as I love all the ingredients. I did 2 fish as their were 4 1/2 (small child) of us, but she eats fish. All the fish I had was already prepared in the freezer as I fish a lot, so went to my local fish mart and had them prepare it. I get fish a lot from them so they were happy to prepare it all up. A few points to watch. If you cook the potatoes as long as you stated, they would of been MUSH in the dish, I cooked them 1/2 way and they were more than done. I did use the optional tomato. Since I made 2 dishes, I made one as the recipe states and 1 my way. I did use the salsa and sherry in yours, I used diced Italian tomatoes and white wine in mine. I was not fond of the sherry. My friends loved it, but it just wasn't a favorite of mine. You do need to season with pepper as well and I thought there was a few fresh herbs missing. So to mine, I added some fresh parsley and fresh thyme. The directions to those who haven't cooked a whole fish before are a bit vague and you may want to elaborate a bit more. I hate to add some extra oil to the pan and my fish only took 20 minutes on 425. But I realize that everyone's oven, fish and pans do differ. Regardless of that. The fish turned out very good, tender and moist and we definitely enjoyed it. thx for sharing, a nice dinner was enjoyed by all tonight. Kim
