Should I bake the fish covered with tinfoil or uncovered?

You can do both. If you want the fish very moist you can cover it with tinfoil. If you want it to be on the drier side, bake it uncovered. The good thing about the pompano fish is very moist. Even if you bake it uncovered, the fish remains moist.

What to serve with?

You may serve the fish with your favorite dipping sauce or try my Simple Garlic Vinegar Sauce. Rice and vegetables also go well with the fish.

How to store

The fish can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

    Thank you so much for this simple and tasty recipe.
    I baked covered for moisture and then uncovered for the last minutes to get the outside a little crispy.
    Also added fresh garlic and butter and seasoned with garlic, powder, paprika, and pepper. My family LOVED it!

      I can understand why some people think it is distasteful to have a head on a fish. However, in Filipino culture it is seen to be a delicacy to have a head on a fish.
