Notes
- Soak in saltwater - If an overly fishy taste bothers you, soak the bass in saltwater overnight. This will remove a ton of the fishy taste. The lemon juice will help with the fishy flavor as well.
- Serve with just lemon instead of sauce - Squeeze a slice of lemon over each piece of bass and enjoy it without sauce.
