This recipe is laughable. I have never left a review on a recipe but felt I had a duty to spare the people yet to encounter this recipe. DO NOT WASTE YOUR FISH. The portions of ingredients are completely off and cannot be saved no matter how hard you try to edit. Truly the worst recipe I have ever used
