In Western countries, fish is often stuffed with slices of lemon and then grilled. In the coastal territory of Goa, vinegar is the more common acid of choice. Goan vinegar is usually obtained from toddy, the sap of the coconut palm, which is left to ferment. This fish dish doesn’t require much work, but the payoff is big.
