  1. Delicious! this has a complex but mild flavor. It is on the labor intensive side but the result is worth the effort. The sauce makes this dish IMHO. Thank you for posting the recipe.
     
  2. Nice, subtle flavors. Sauce is bit laboursome, but rewarding.
     
  3. absolutely delicious. this went over well with the whole family
     
  4. Pretty good. This recipe could be split in half. The marinade is good by itself with the fish. The butter sauce is nice but quite a bit of work when you could just do a little compound lime butter and get something pretty close in flavor to the butter sauce.
     
  5. Terrific! Not only did the adults love this, but my 14 year old was asking for more. What an excellent combination of flavours...and for someone who loves the cilantro/lime combination (that would be me) it is just delicious!

  1. Meanie this is by far the best fish recipe I have tried here on zaar!! Thank you so much for making a very special dinner extra special. The only alterations I made to the recipe, was I increased the amt of garlic from 2 to 5 cloves (in the sauce), instead of pepper flakes in the sauce, I used 3 fresh chilli (seeded). This was just fantastic!! And I used clam juice instead of fish stock for the sauce. :) Thanks Meanie!!
