Should you know a friendly poacher,
this dish can be a cheap appetiser.
Clean the fish well under a cold tap and dry. Peel plantains. They should be a little on the green side. Insert a split fruit inside each fish, liberally seasoning with nutmeg. Wrap each fish with lettuce leaves, or plantain leaves, and place in a shallow dish. Here it is entirely upto you. I prefer a gentle white wine. Not too sweet, neither too dry. Pour some over the fish but do not drown them. Place the dish in a pre-warmed oven for about thirty to forty minutes, at around one fifty-two hundred F. Serve with the remaining wine and a side salad..
