Every town, even every family, has a special combination for this marinade in which every type of fish, big or small, whole, filleted or cut in chunks, is left to absorb the flavours. Different herbs are used – parsley instead of coriander, spices in varying proportions, onion instead of garlic – so you may feel free to use the following list of ingredients as a guide and suit your taste.

It is marvellous and I strongly recommend it, but not for a fish with a delicate flavour.
