I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my moqueca turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

The moqueca was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I wasn't a fan of the moqueca. I found the sauce to be too oily and the fish to be overcooked.

This was my first time making moqueca, and it turned out great! I was a bit worried about the amount of oil, but it didn't make the dish greasy at all.
