This sounds amazing. Just wondering how large the fish fillets should be, and what type of fish – firm white fish of any kind?
Hello, I would use firmer white fish such as Ling, Blue-eye Trevalla, Swordfish, Emperors, and Mahi Mahi these are some fish with firm, white flesh. Just use a small 120 gm ect sized fillet.
