This is certainly the most renowned dish of the gulfside port of Veracruz. The flavors of capers, jalapeños and olives are very Mediterranean, a reflection of the Spanish explorer Cortez’ influence on this region. Read more My family loves it when I make this dish. See less

Delicious dish! A local restaurant serves fish Veracruz style and it is my dad's favorite. Just perfect for Father's day dinner.

This is my first attempt with new fish dishes for the week. Hubby said "give it a 5"! I used salsa with black beans and corn and all the other flavors (he liked the capers) melded nicely. I served it with fried polenta rounds, the perfect side.

Made this dish last night; was good but would use a little less salsa and more tomato. The amount of salsa took away from the flavor of the halibut. Good dish - would make it again.
