Frequently Asked Questions

How can I adjust the marinade consistency?

With just oil, the marinade consistency will be perfect. However, if you need the paste to be little thin, add a few drops of water.

Can I oven roast the fish steaks?

Yes. You can roast/fry the fish in a preheated oven at 180° C for about 5-7 minutes on one side. Flip and continue to fry for another 5-7 minutes.
