I thought this recipe was just okay. The fish was a little dry, and the caper sauce was a bit bland.

This recipe is a waste of time. The fish was mushy and the caper sauce was inedible.

I wasn't impressed with this recipe. The fish was overcooked and the caper sauce was too salty.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this recipe changed my mind. The caper sauce was so good that I could have eaten it on its own. The fish was flaky and moist, and the whole dish was just delicious.
