Ready to refrigerate - And I forgot to add the spring onions

Though I have used recado de achiote for this recipe, any spice mix, curry powder or curry paste would work equally as well. You know what it's like when you have something new in the kitchen. You need to try it out!

Similarly, you could use any strongly flavoured fish as well. Smoked fish would be good too. Haddock is probably what I would use in place of the basa
