You can also take any other white fish: haddock, hake, catfish, whiting, pollock, pangasius. In general, there is a lot to choose from and cook our dish. We remove the bones and skin from the fish. Cut into small pieces.

We will prepare a kind of filling sauce to give an interesting taste to the fish.
