I’m still a beginner when it comes to cooking whole fish and I’m not exactly sure what the fam thinks of baked whole fish. Nonetheless, I think this recipe makes for delicious fish. The fish is garlicky, herby, lemony, and loads of delicious. Make sure to season the fish well as the seasoning makes it tastier and a lot better.
