Coffee rubbed fish

I wished to try the combination of coffee and fish. The flavors were partly influenced by Mexican cuisine and hence the choice of spices. The caramelized coffee gave a touch of bitterness to the fishes, which was well complemented by the other spices. Coupled with the ‘Eggplant avocado salsa’, it was a good dish.
