As we are constantly moving about, I don't have many equiments or ingredients to cook with when we are not at home. Thus, the prepared sauces become hadny coz I can easily get them in all supermarkets. This quick dish works well with firm white fish as well. Cut the fish into small pieces and procede as directed.
