Cooking tips 💡
- If you're intimidated by cleaning fish, you can buy frozen pre-cleaned flatfish from the market with the innards and head already removed for convenience.
- If you prefer the natural flavor of the fish without a spicy sauce, you can skip the saucing step and enjoy it as plain grilled fish.
