Ingredients

• Bluefish fillet – 4 pounds
• Orange juice – 1 cup
• Fresh lime juice – ¼ cup

• Dry white wine – 1 tablespoon
• Salt and black pepper – as per taste
• Citrus flavored seafood mixture – ¼ cup

*Citrus Seafood Marinade Mix is a readymade mixture and an easy way to add the flavors to seafood.
