Rest assured, we are not talking about the shadow projected by a small object, do not do the same face that I did when my fishmonger of confidence has proposed to me… is a fish with a very delicate and valuable meat, similar to grouper and therefore not It is better to cover the flavor too much with the ingredients. Better a simple preparation that exalts the qualities. I wanted to leave it to the natural with the addition of a delicate cream and some tomato confit. Guaranteed Success! We see the steps necessary to prepare this fish.
