Method

  • step 1

    Make a few slashes in the flesh on either side of the fish with a sharp knife. Mix the onion powder, paprika, thyme and some seasoning with the beer. Pour over the fish and rub into the slashes and cavity. Place the lime slices inside the fishes’ bellies, cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 hr.

  • step 2

    Heat the grill to medium-high. Place the fish on a tray and grill for 15-20 mins, depending on the size, turning halfway through. Baste the fish with a little beer as it cooks. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.

What's missing from this dish is 4 ingredients: onions, sweet peppers, all purpose or fish seasoning and some scotch bonnet pepper (remove seeds if you don't like it too hot) for a bit of a kick. That's how it's done it in the Caribbean.

Disappointed by the outcome despite having used all the gradients in the quantities, nothing Jamaican in the flavouring at all in the fish, I used bream as snapper are very hard to come by where I live, posh fish they call it! Needs more oomph!

question

Is the serving size as per the nutritional information for half of a fish?

Hi. The nutrition is per serving, so 1/4 of the total recipe, or half a fish.

So very easy to make after work! Used hot paprika as that's what I had, added a lovely smoky kick! Trout were on offer so used those and served with oven roasted spice sweet potatoes and salad...yummy!
