Whether eaten fried in batter, salted and dried or smoked, snoek makes up most of the local diet all along the West Coast. High in omega-3 fatty acids, snoek is a deliciously meaty fish.

Method:

Combine the butter, paprika and garlic in a small saucepan and heat over the coals, stirring to prevent the garlic from burning.

Pat the snoek dry with paper towels. Brush the skin with a little melted butter or  olive oil to prevent it sticking and open up the fish like a book.

Place the fish, skin-side down, on a hinged grid lined with foil. Using the rosemary sprigs, brush the flesh side with the paprika garlic butter.

Braai, flesh-side down, over medium-hot coals for 3 minutes, then skinside down for a further 10-15 minutes, basting with the flavoured butter throughout. When ready, the flesh should flake easily with a fork but still be juicy.

Serve with charred lemon wedges, green salad and garlic bread.
