I love going to the fish monger, it probably has something to do with my Swedish genes. Growing up in Gothenburg by the sea, fish is a must on a regular basis. Not only that, we have a few fishermen in the family, so we have fresh fish on the table all summer. 

I once made a boy fall in love with me over this dish... so if you are lacking love in your life, this might be the perfect recipe.
