💡 Dicas Profissionais
- ✓Manjuba fish are small and delicate, so add them towards the end of cooking to prevent them from breaking apart too much.
- ✓If fresh manjuba is unavailable, other small white fish can be used, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
- ✓For a richer flavor, a small piece of smoked fish can be added during the simmering process.
