    I hate fish but thought this recipe was very good. A little over the top on the lemon according to the rest of my family who loves fish. They recommended cutting out some of the lemon. - 6/17/10

    Love this dish. I wasn't a fish eater before, didn't like it at all, however now my taste is changing and I'm looking at different ways to making fish so that most of my meals (3/4 of them) will be fish. - 2/1/09
