Citrus Marinated Striper/Striped Bass
So, I’m at the grocery store today and the checker asks, “So, when are you gonna come up with some new striper recipes?” Here’s one.
Keep in mind that you only want to marinate the fish for about 1 hour. Too much time in the marinade will turn your striper into ceviche or, given enough time…mush.
Do make sure that you remove any dark areas of meat, particularly the dark lateral “bloodline”, before cooking any fish.
