Overall, this was a good recipe. The fish was cooked well and the cucumber sauce was flavorful. However, I found the recipe to be a bit too complicated and time-consuming. I think there are easier ways to cook poached fish.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The fish was mushy and the cucumber sauce was watery and flavorless. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will not be making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fish turned out dry and overcooked. I think I may have poached it for too long. Next time, I'll be more careful to watch the cooking time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some lemon juice and dill to the cucumber sauce, which helped to brighten up the flavor. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it could use a few tweaks.
