My notes:

This was excellent. I used tilapia fish, as usual, and it worked excellently. The next time, I'm going to try it using some garlic and I always omit the mushrooms. I may also use bigger tomatoes, because this didn't really leave much in the way of a "sauce" for the fish - just the onions and tomatoes. Otherwise, it was excellent!
