Basting for Snoek

Step 2

Bring all of the ingredients to boil, stir to combine and then remove from the heat.

Step 3

Brush the Snoek skin with oil to prevent from sticking. Open the Snoek up and place on braai grid.

Step 4

Baste the open side of the fish well with apricot jam basting and place on hot fire skin side down.

Step 5

Cook skin side for about 6-8 minutes. Keep a close eye as it can burn quickly, watch flames as the butter and sugar in the basting will provide extra fuel for flames.

Step 6

Turn and continue to cook flesh side down for a further 6-8 minutes.

Step 7

Turn again, keep basting and checking until cooked through. The Snoek will cook quickly, so watch not to overcook.
