We love penne or rigatoni with this dish as the thicker pasta is heartier.

A Hearty Seafood Dish

Although haddock and cod are the family choice of seafood to use, any hearty white fish can be used.

We have used fresh caught Mahi Mahi also so feel free to mix and match whatever fish you have on hand.

The fish can be served with or without pasta and we have several suggestions for those wanting to keep it low carb below.

The sauce will really make this dish from simple to gourmet and you just need a little drizzle of butter on top for breadcrumb perfection.
