If serving more or fewer dishes, adjust the fish weight accordingly. Edible meat assumes ~50–60% of the whole fish weight. If it’s part of a multi-dish meal, each person usually eats ~60–80 g of fish. If the fish is the main protein, you might allow 100 g per person. For thicker-bodied fish (grouper, sea bass), lean toward the longer end of the timing. ---------- Don't know where to get the ingredients or what they look like?
