I made this using Red Throat Emperor (a relative of snapper) that we caught ourselves. I cross hatched the skin and that caused the fillets to curl so they didn't crisp up like they should have. Russ usually just skins all our fish and if I make this again, I'll make it using skinless fillets. Rather than hold cooked fish, I chose to use two pans and hold the sauce while the fish cooked. That worked well for me. The sauce is very simple, really tasty and was great to dip our home made wedges in too!
