I was impressed by the tonguefish I had at a restaurant, so I decided to try making it myself. It's not quite like the version I had, but you can make a delicious tonguefish at home. It goes great with white wine!

When frying up the tonguefish, press on it with a spatula so that it doesn't curl. It has an extravagant taste when the skin side is crispy and fragrant.
The salt, olive oil, and lemon give this a simple flavor. Recipe by Shinsaburou
