I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out terrible. The fish was rubbery and the sauce was watery. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The fish was dry and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The sauce was too acidic for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of tomato next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish was overcooked. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more flavor. It was still good, but I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
