Very tasty. Since fish is braised in that flavorful liquid it won't dry out, even if you cook a bit too long so it's a nice choice for when you have company. You can make the tomato sauce way ahead of time and just throw in the oven when you want to eat. Be sure to evaporate most of the liquid when making the sauce and dry fish with paper towel. With 1 cup wine it tends to be a very liquid sauce. You could remove fish and reduce sauce on the stove top before serving. Also good with rice.
