  This was lovely. I think it needs a little bit of extra cooking time as my dish was full of liquid that hadn't quite evaporated, and the fish and potatoes did not crisp up. It did provide a good stock for use in other recipes though.

  This was lovely but very oily. Next time I'll reduce the oil and add some more onions and tomatoes. We also laid the fish on some lemon wedges which tasted great.

  Very nice recipe, first time I've tried sea bream. Agree with other comments about too much liquid, but still tasty. Also didn't have any onions, but added some black olives instead.

  the recipe felt a little bland for me so I changed it:- I blazed 1/2an onion with an inch of fresh root ginger,1green chilli,1 segment garlic,1tomato,juice of a lemon,salt,sprightly of rosemary,1spoon of numeric,2 spoons allspice,a sprightly of fresh mint leaves, and dribble of olive oil. filled this paste inside the fish and the slits in the body outside. then placed the fish in a parcel of tin foil loosely folded from all dies. baked for 30mins @ gas 5. served it with green salad and boiled buttered corn. An absolutely exquisite dish fit for the best restaurant table..... Try it-you will not be disappointed.

  Made this in the week. It was quick and easy to assemble and certainly had the wow factor when placed on the table. Tasted good as well. Definately make this again.
