Jaws (1975)

Our recipe for “I Love Baked Fish” is inspired by the movie “Jaws.” That shark fish terrorized a community in the movie and made “real people” afraid to go swimming. Well, we have tamed that beast with a roasting pan and a vegetable sauce that kicks some shark bootie. You will scream “I Love Baked Fish,” but don’t scare the neighbors!
