Sous Vide Sheepshead Fish

Sheepshead fish filets can be prepared many ways, but our new favorite (of course) is giving them 30 minutes in the Anova Sous Vide Precision cooker with quick sear under the broiler when they're done. Serve sous vide sheepshead with a little lemon or tartar sauce, or on its own over rice. Just maybe don’t Google image search it. And if you do, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
