Healthy, because
All around the Mediterranean, sea bream are not only appreciated for their taste: with a lot of iodine and protein, they belong to the group of particularly beneficial sea fish, and the thick portion of B vitamins is really good for stressed nerves.
Even smarter
Fennel is rightly regarded as beneficial to the stomach: the essential oil in particular, which provides the typical taste, has a calming effect. Plenty of minerals and vitamins from the B group are added as plus points.
