MikeN,

That looks delicious! If I may, what is the marinade and does the rice cook with the fish?

The fish was scored with a sharp knife to allow the flavors to absorb, then marinaded in the refrigerator for 24 hours with sliced whole garlic, sushi quality soy, fish sauce, a bit of water and a touch of oyster sauce (along with the sliced whole fresh mushrooms).

I cook the rice separately because the soy in the fish marinade is too strong.

It’s really quite easy if you plan Saturday’s meal on Thursday.

I’m a big guy and my dear mother told me, “Son, the way you eat, you best learn to cook.”

Thanks
