Thai-style Whole Sous Vide Snapper

Anova Culinary

This Thai-inspired dish brings together a Thai dressing and sous vide whole snapper.  You will be cooking the whole fish so do expect bones. If you don’t like eating things on the bone, then this recipe is probably not for you. However, if you’re a fan of authentic Asian cooking and don’t mind eating carefully to avoid bones, you’ll probably love this dish.
