Ingredients:
Snoek or Stok Vis or something of your choice
Garlic
Lemon Juice
Butter
Salt and Pepper Mix
Chutney
You will need:
Lekker hot coals
Grid with a lip around the edge
Tinfoil
Beers
Instructions:
Line the one side of the grid with tinfoil. Make sure the shiny part is outside. Overlap it with the grid to wrap it over the lip of the grid. Make sure you have no holes, patch it of you do with small piece of tinfoil and butter. Coat the tin foil with butter to stop the fish from sticking to it. Now prepare the coating by mixing garlic, lemon juice butter and salt and pepper mix in a bowl and place in the microwave and melt it and mix well. Its a good idea to salt the fish well before you start everything and rinse if off. Now place the fish in the grid on top of the tin foil. Coat with some chutney. Close grid Place it on the fire with the tinfoil at the bottom. Now pour the mixture over the fish. Wait until the mixture is boiling around the fish. Now take the grid off the fire and pour the mixture back into the bowl. Turn the grid over with the tinfoil now ontop and the fish exposed the the open coals. The mixture will drip into the fire and cause it to smoke like crazy. Leave for about 3 - 5 min and turn over again. Pour the mixture back over the fish. Let it go for say 8 - 10 min and repeat the process untill done.
Used to do this on an unnamed island down south while the fresh veg lasted:-
In a baking dish fry up a couple of large sliced onions with a clove or two of garlic until they turn yellow. Layer in a bunch of sliced tomatoes and then a couple of large cubed potatoes. Sprinkle salt/Aromat and pepper between each layer as well as a bit of rosemary, thyme and a couple of bayleaves. Put your snoek fillets on top, cover with water to level of veggies and then cover the entire dish with white wine. Tinfoil/lid over the top then into the oven at 180 deg C for an hour or two. Stir and thicken the sauce with a little arrowroot and serve with steamed rice, crusty bread and a salad (something we missed... ).
