If you’ve ever been to Morocco then you probably know that we’re famous for our Tagines, Couscous, Rfissa, and other traditional recipes. You’ll also know that we’re famous for our seas and our fish dishes as well.
One of the fish dishes that I love the most is Tagra, or marinated fish in the oven. It’s a yummy dish that is very colourful, and most importantly, very healthy.
Tagra is a dish that is very famous in the north of the kingdom, here in Morocco, and it’s known as “Tagra” there only The other parts of the kingdom, don’t have any special name for it, which is quite weird. But anyway, since I’ve last shared with you the classical recipe of Tagra, today I decided to share the quick and easy version of it. If you want to check the classic recipe then just click here.
It’s very fast, it’s yummy, and it’s nutritious. So, what’s more, to ask?
