Reviews
Senegalese Fish Yassa was useful as a planning recipe because the sides and nutrition notes felt realistic. Bright seasoning and no rich finish.
Steven BarlowThe balance in Senegalese Fish Yassa worked well for me: moist fish, clear method, and enough detail to judge the portion sensibly.
Michael HolsteadI tried Senegalese Fish Yassa as a lighter main meal and it still felt properly satisfying. The Senegal flavour notes came through without making the dish feel heavy.
