    My partner and I really enjoyed this dish. The flavour of the fennel seeds works really well with the sweet potato.

    Very disappointing-ruined a an expensive piece of wild seabass! For me the fennel seeds completely overpowered the delicate taste of the seabass and the dish as a whole was lacking moisture. Blanching the sweet potatoes before roasting seemed to make them extra soggy. Wouldn't do it again!
