      This was tasty, texture a little weird because of the egg. I used basa, and it took way longer than 15 minutes and I had to turn the temperature up, I think it should be 25 minutes at 200 degrees (at least). If you used something thicker like ling it would need longer. Also, it needed a bigger piece of foil than 20cmx20cm, there’s lots in a parcel and next time I would put baking paper down first as it was hard to get out of the foil. Served with lime, not lemon.
