Whole Fish on the Braai

The Fishwife is here to share a delicious recipe. You will need:

• Whole Red Stumpnose (or any whole small fish)
• 1 x Red Onion
• 1 big handful of Coriander
• 2 tsp Garlic
• 1 tsp chopped Chilli
• 2 tsp grated Ginger
• 1/2 cup Soy sauce
• Salt & pepper
• 1 Lemon

Preparation:

1. Scale the Red Stumpnose if not already done. An easy way to do this is by pulling a fork against the grain which will take the scales off.
2. Make sure your fish is gutted and the cavity is nice and clean.
3. Score the skin of the fish to allow the flavours of your marinade to infuse into the meat.
4. Chop the red onion and coriander and fill the cavity of the fish
5. Grate some lemon rind into the cavity. Set the lemon aside for later.
6. Mix together the garlic, chilli, ginger and soy sauce and use this to coat the fish (pour and rub half the mixture over the fish, keeping remaining half for basting throughout the cooking process).
7. Place fish in a braai grid which has a handle and can close and be turned easily.
8. Cook the whole fish over medium coals for approximately 20 - 25 minutes, flipping every 3-5 minutes so that the skin doesn't burn. Using a basting brush, paint the fish with the marinade with every flip.
9. The fish is done when the eyes are white and the skin has pulled tight. If you take a fork and pull the meat from the back bone, it should pull away easily.
