This recipe was created by Chef Hassan Emre and is served at the Topkapi Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey. Sea bass is the best fish for this recipe, but it isn't always available in all regions. Depending on your region and what’s available, tilapia or sablefish (black cod) works well with this recipe as well, and they'll produce a fairly similar taste and texture. But try to use sea bass if at all possible.
