"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a very simple, healthy and delicious Mediterranean fish also known as "Greek Sea Bass" and should be cooked WHOLE.

Because it is a very mild-tasting fish, the cavity should be stuffed with lemon and other ingredients for added flavor. With lemon and oregano it is truly Greek cuisine.

NOTE: I prepared 1-half pound fish for 2 and added jumbo prawns (4-ea) to the pan last 6-8mins before serving.

Enjoy! This is one of my favorite fish.
