Country 47: Dominican Republic - Pescado con Coco

I made this one in September and it's now December so my thoughts are a bit delayed and also I don't remember that much of it, but here we go anyway!

• Initially I didn't think there would be too much difference between Dominica and Dominican Republic. I guess because they are both in the Caribbean, but actually on a map they're still quite far apart from each other which was surprising because their names are so similar.
• Both of them are very fish-dominated cuisines which makes sense because they're islands. 
• Dominican Republic is one of those countries that I used to sell all-inclusive holidays to, where people wouldn't bother leaving the resort. My mum and I once talked about a holiday there together but we're not resorty people so we would've stayed somewhere else and gone out to explore. That's my preferred way of holidaying anyway.

And about the meal...

This was the recipe I followed. 

• It was unusual having coconut milk and lime flavours because to me they're always quite Thai flavours, but this was a little more subtle than Thai I think. 
• I really enjoyed it, I know that much! 
• I used seabass - it's impossible to find snapper in London at an affordable price point and seabass did the job perfectly fine. I also used fillets rather than whole fish as, again, these are easier to find and certainly easier to eat! 
• I served mine with rice and some steamed green vegetables, for health. 

Overall I would say that this was a good meal! Subtle, but tasty overall. I would happily make this again.
