INGREDIENTS

You can use any white meat fish. I am using a 1 1/2 lb striped bass. Tilapia, sea bass, red snapper are also good choices. Of course, if you can also use fish fillet, just reduce the cooking time.

In a large sauce pan, boil water, add 1 tbsp of cooking wine. Poach the fish on medium heat for about 12 mins, turn the fish once during cooking. If you have a 1 pound fish, cook about 8 mins.
