I am answering a request from a fellow Hubber for a baked fish recipe, but I am giving you two because they are just awesome. Even those who don't eat fish may become converts.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F

Ingredients

2 1/2 to 3lbs. dressed Bass (whole fish)

1 green bell pepper (chopped small)

8 mushrooms (chopped small)

1 yellow onion (chopped small)

1 cup celery (chopped small)

1/3 cup butter or margarine1 large can chopped tomatoes

salt

pepper

Season fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Set fish aside and begin to simmer all the chopped vegetables together in the butter or margarine. Continue to stir this mixture together for about 8 to 10 munutes. Next add your tomatoes to the vegetables;  add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over a medium to high heat until ingredients start to boil. Turn off stove. Place your fish in a baking dish that is 12 x 8 x 2 or larger. Pour tomato and vegetables on top. Bake and baste fish occasionally for about 30 minutes or longer until fish is easily flaked when forked, yet still moist.
