Oh the joys of whole roasted fish over flaming embers served with dipping sauce – it’s heavenly!
It was prior to backpacking Southeast Asia that I had experimented a number of times grilling fish, only to have half of my fish end up stuck to the grill. It was hopeless.
But there’s a solution in Thailand , and that’s salt. Lots of it.
The fish is first stuffed full of lemongrass and then plastered in salt before being place on the grill. On low heat the salt protects the skin leaving the flesh moist and flaky.
