BBQ Flying Fish

Easy
Serves: 1

BBQ Flying Fish showcases the delightful and flavoursome taste of flying fish, a beloved seafood in the Caribbean. In this recipe, we marinate the flying fish in a blend of aromatic spices and herbs, then grill it to perfection on the barbecue. The grilling process imparts smoky and charred flavours to the fish, resulting in tender and succulent fillets that are visually enticing and incredibly satisfying to the palate. Whether you're hosting a summer barbecue or simply longing for a taste of the Caribbean, BBQ Flying Fish is an excellent choice that will transport you to the sunny shores with every mouthful

  • Fill the veins in the fish with seasoning and place it flat in a flat Pyrex glass dish
