We love the tropical flavours of this dish served in the heart of winter. Hydrating mangos is easy and very tasty and can be used in various ways. This is a great dish to serve for large get togethers and can be prepped in advance and assembled minutes before serving - the stuffed fish can also be cooked on open coals for extra depth of flavour.
