This fish could be bland, but it takes on the spicy
flavors of the marinade. We included this recipe in our book "Cooking with the Movies: Meals on Reels." —Anthony Chiffolo

Absolutely fabulous recipe . . . the stuff of which culinary, or perhaps more precisely, food-obsessed, dreams are made. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us. It's on the "this week" list. ;o)
