My wife Samanta is not a big fan of fish unless you talk about shellfish and shellfish… the only fish that really have the shape that can eat with taste, are the cod and the spatula. I have the "obligation" to eat also other fish rich in taste but, every now and then, I have to satisfy her and make her eat what she likes. And then here I opted for the spatula. This time it is touched by this fish to which I tried to give a pinch of extra flavor both with the stuffing and with the sauce that you can decide to put on top and of which you will find the ingredients in the section dedicated to Mise en place. Let's see step by step how to proceed.
