"I'm perplexed by the few bad ratings. Taste is everything. If the marinade tastes too vinegary, add more wine, olive oil or other liquid. Even beef stock. Sorry that good recipes are trashed by inexperienced cooks. Personally I use more wine than vinegar although my husband loves this recipe as is. Remember, recipes are guides, not rules."

"The previous reviewer may be confused about the black sea bass. The giant sea bass, sometimes called black sea bass, has been in a protected status. The mid-Atlantic population of black sea bass is open to fishing.

This entire recipe is well worth the time and, though time consuming, is a wonderful and different meal for a special occasion."
