got to be Hollandaise sauce again with this fish.
Seasonal veg, carrots, peti pois etc.

To drink I had a very nice, crisp and ultra dry Frascati, the wife is not into vin blanc so she had an Antipodean Chiraz Reserve, nice choice, it goes really well with a mature Cheddar and a couple of pieces of Cadbury's finest.
last time we had sea bass, it was the wrapped in wet paper & baked in the oven method - bit of fennel & some dill & lemon juice, lovely - yours sounded lovely, too - but if you do it in wet paper, the skin/scales should come off, stuck to the paper, when you unwrap it

and watch out for the escolar - 'fake' sea bass that cause all sorts of gastric chaos

- oh, & currently asda south african red
