    • Buy fresh: Ask your fishmonger to clean and gut the branzino for you. The fresher the fish, the better the flavor.
    • Use a fish spatula: To help you serve the fillets without breaking them apart.
    • Pair with sides: Couscous, roasted vegetables, or a fresh Greek salad are perfect accompaniments.
