This tasted sublime, surprisingly so for such a simple dish. Given the quantity of garlic (which I expected to overwhelm the fish), this had a much milder flavour than one would think with the vinegar,oil garlic and chilli in perfect balance. I changed nothing from the given recipe and have also used cod to great effect. The only thing that I may try is to reduce the olive oil quantity to 6 Tbs as I felt so guilty using the recipe's 8. A great dish when you're in a rush.

I live in Madrid, Spain. I am the father of 2 kids, work as engineer, and I spend my spare time cooking, playing clarinet (at least learning) and enjoying jazz music.
Have you ever tried to be in the kitchen preparing something with "I've got you under my skin", or "I got rythm" for instance as background music?
I love surprising my guests with special dishes, and this site has been a great help for that.
