What do you suggest other than canola”oil”, it is so unhealthy? (do your research).
Any oil will work well.
Any sort of white fish is fine, flounder, snapper etc.
I Live in Florida where can I buy white fish fillets. Is this the whitefish that smoked white fish is made with?
Is the canola for the marinade and the brushing? Or do you need more for the brushing?
It is a type of dough, not so easy to make, but you can find it in most freezers.
what are phyllo sheets and where can these be obtained or can we make them.
thanks
YOu can cut the fillets to match the size of the phyllo. I would figure each fillet would be about 4-6 ounces.
how big should the fillets be?
