Time is relative... Fish Braai.

When you are busy, time flies. And when you sit still and do nothing, time seems to tick over slowly. Right!? Lazy days are meant for fish braai's...


Fish Braai

This is one of my all-time favourite meals... fish over hot coals. It always brings back my best childhood memories...
And it is so easy to prepare!!

NB RULE: Buy FRESH fish from the market / harbour that they caught that morning or, even better, catch your own! I usually buy my fish at the harbour - fresh Hake (Stokvis).

Firstly, you would need some nice, warm coals. So start up your braai - drink a beer or a glass of Chenin Blanc - relax, watch the flames...
Later, maybe a while later... after adding more wood and just relaxing - add some charcoal, in case you don't have good coals.

Then, mix melted butter (salted) with fresh, crushed garlic, salt, pepper (to taste). Place your fish, skin down, on a big sheet of foil. I usually spray the foil with a "non-stick" spray. 
Brush your butter mixture liberally over the white meat of the fish. 
Then add your spices... I like it plain and simple (salt and pepper), but on this specific day, I used "Ina Paarman's Lemon and Rosemary Seasoning." 
















Then, onto the hot coals.... 
You can wrap the fish in the foil. I just leave mine open.
Fish cook quite fast, so keep an eye on it. The fish is ready when it flakes easily!

Oh, sorry!! I never took a photo of the salad, savoury rice and pumpkin fritters I made with the dish.... I couldn't wait to eat :-). It was so, so good!! 



















No, these fillets are not left-overs.... they were eaten not long after I took this photo!













Enjoy!
