About

The Portuguese occupation had an enormous influence on Goan cuisine. In their wake, they left a trail of subversive ingredient twists, the addition of alcohol and vinegars among them. The splash of sweet sherry here adds a Mowgli sass that I love.

Ingredients

1 large halibut fillet, about 800 g/1 lb 12 oz
