Smoking Hot: My Delicious Journey to Perfect Spicy Homemade Barbecue Fish

3 months ago

Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗

I was craving fish barbecue, so I put a call to one of my customer who has a fish pond where she rears catfish to ask if they are available for sale. Thankfully, she just harvested few days back and had some that she reserved. I quickly head over to her house where the fish ponds were located and I was able to buy 2kg. She sold each kg at #3600 ($2.40).

The fish were huge - a sign that they were well fed. I prefer buying directly from the farm rather than buying from the market. I always get a good value for my money when i buy from the direct seller.

So, let me take you through the process of making my fish barbecue. I added some sweet potatoes to my barbecue. Some may prefer to use plantain, irish potatoes or other accompaniment of choice.

INGREDIENTS

2 Large Catfish
1 meduim onion
1 medium tomatoes
About 4 scotch bonnet and bell pepper
1 tsp multipurpose
1 tsp suya pepper
1 tbsp curry powder
2 seasoning cubes
1 big sweet potatoes
½ cup of Vegetable oil
Salt to taste

HOW TO PREPARE

Wash your fish thoroughly until it is very clean
Make incisions on the sides of the fish so that your seasoning can go inside well. Set aside.
Wash your tomatoes, onions and scotch bonnet/bell pepper. Slice the onions and roughly pound the tomatoes and scotch bonnet/bell pepper together. Set aside
Wash, peel and dice your sweet potatoes into desired size. Set aside.
Next, place the fish pn a foil paper. Use a glove to rub the mixture all over the fish and inside the incisions that you cut earlier
Then add the sweet potatoes that you have diced as well
Use the vegetable oil to rub the fish round
Gently wrap the foil paper and move to your grilling tray. Move the tray to the preheated oven
Leave to cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour
Once it's done, serve with more onions or other accompaniment of your choice.
