Fish stuffed with mushrooms

Cookinero 7 January 2023

Fish stuffed with mushrooms is a wonderful dish in every respect: healthy, tasty and very appetizing. In addition, it is prepared quite easily, that is, it does not require supernatural culinary skills from the hostess. There are many options for filling for fish, but we preferred mushroom filling: its ingredients are simple and accessible to everyone. But the question of choosing the “main character” of the dish depends on your desire and capabilities. The most important criterion in this matter is the absence of a large number of small bones in the fish, so the marine one will definitely be a priority.
