Braaied Snoek

Method

1. Rinse the snoek with fresh water and pat dry, let it air dry for about half an hour.
2. Combine the basting ingredients in a saucepan and heat until the sauce is smooth.
3. Brush the fish with olive oil. Season with sea salt and coarse black pepper.
4. Start to braai the snoek with the flesh side facing the coals first, seal the flesh and turn around, brush with the basting.
5. Turn two or three times, but braai mostly with the skin side facing the coals, and brush constantly with the basting.
6. You can also oven bake the fish at 180°C for 15 – 20 minutes. Finish off under a hot grill.
7. When the fish flakes easily (test the thickest part) it is done. Garnish with slices of lemon and extra chilli if desired
