Story

Use any good firm fish that will stand up well to the flavors of garlic, tomatoes, and pine nuts. I like Atlantic cod, halibut, or Gulf Coast cobia or grouper. Anything that's too delicate, like tilapia, tends to break up too much in the cooking process.
Be sure to toast the pine nuts before serving. Just toss them for a minute or two in a dry, hot skillet, until they're golden brown. The toasting really brings out the flavor. Add them to the fish just before serving to keep them crunchy.
