At a recent family gathering, I got to savor one of the tastiest fish barbecues ever. This was prepared by Sunday, a pro in the fish barbecue business. I found myself going back for One……..Two……….Three helpings of whole fish. Call it gluttony, but if you ask me I’d say the fish was “fantabulously gooooood!!!” . It was spicy, hot & full of flavor. I first got drawn to his barbecue stand by the aroma and after a little chitchat; he was kind enough to show me how it’s being prepared. Let’s take a look below
• Prep time: 40 mins
• Cook Time: 12 mins
• Total time: 52 mins
• Street foodie waka chef: Sunday
Ingredients:::
• 3 Whole Croaker Fish
• 3 tbsp. freshly ground Red Chili pepper
• 1 tbsp. freshly ground Black pepper
• 2 tbsp. Vegetable Oil
• 5 cloves
Directions:::
1. Preheat the barbecue grill 30 mins prior to cook time.
2. Remove the scales from the fish and gut; Wash thoroughly
3. Place the fish in an aluminum foil and make about 6 slashes on each fish with a sharp knife (This is to help the seasoning penetrate into the fish easily)
4. Mix the peppers in a bowl, Add the chopped onion, Minced garlic, Salt and 3 tbsp. vegetable oil; Stir to incorporate the mixture together
5. Rub the pepper mixture all over the fish with a brush and cover with the aluminum foil; Leave to marinate for 30 mins (While the barbecue grill heats up)

Seeing that I am a girl from the Lake Victoria region of Kenya, I have a very strong affinity for fish! And Dobby, you get a stamp of “Lake Victoria” approval for this, because it definitely looks too good.
I love that it’s simple and has a good amount of chilli in there for a kick. We are bbqing fish tomorrow at the house, and I may throw in this recipe instead to my mom.
Thanks m’dear! Hope you are well

Hello Dobby,I dnt hv a grill but I would lov to try this out.a collegue just told me I can use my microwave nd it wil com out well.pls do u tink is tru?
Hey Dobby!! Thumps up for dis one and odas too. will i get the same result if i use my mini oven to grill?
Hi Mrs morgan,
Using a Microwave to Grill is a total No No (Except you are using a conventional Microwave/ grill, though it still won't have the same effect as when you Use a Real Grill). This is because Grilling and microwaving are two different cooking techniques. When Grilling, Radiant heat (above 400 degrees F)is applied to whatever is being cooked while Microwaves do not apply radiant heat to foods. Also, Grilling concentrates the fish flavours, colour & texture while microwaved fish wouldn't do that and you might end up with a bland fish. Hope this Helps.
Hello Anon!
Yes you can get the same result if you Use a mini Oven.
Dancing azonto Oo°˚˚˚°! Thanks for dis recipe Oo°˚˚˚°! Wia i live, it cost an arm and a leg to eat good barbequed fish. I'm glad I can use an oven too. Love and kisses dear.

Hi mrs morgan,
An oven toaster & grill can be used to Barbecue,grill,Bake and also reheat meals. The only hitch is, it's not as fast as the normal oven.
You'd be glad you did dear 😀
Thanks dear!
Hello,
You can use microwave too grill, some microwave has d grilling function. Or wat do Ʊ guys tink?
@Anon 03:19 I think so too. my microwave has a grill oven but I've not tried using it before.
Where can I get a fish holder like urs…
you can get it from the local Nigerian market especially from those who sell fish nets and hooks.
Wow this is nice,can i use my gas oven to get this right
yes you can, though the flavor from both are slightly different.
Stumbled on your blog from pinterest, unfortunately on an empty stomach. Your recipes and pictures are great!
Thank you winnie 🙂
Hello Dobby, discovered ur blog 2 weeks ago and I keep coming back every day. Gr8 job. Please where can I get black pepper or what other name is it known by?

hey,

Thanks kirti
I think Barbecued Marinated Croaker fish is toothsome and healthy. THanks for sharing recipe.
You are welcome ethnic food :). Thanks for stopping by.
Dobby pls can I use cat fish for babique
Yes you can. But you'd also need to use a foil to wrap the cat fish before cooking. That way, the catfish wouldn't scatter while it cooks.
Where can I get fresh chill pepper and black pepper to buy in lagos?
Fresh chili pepper is sold everywhere especially in the local markets. If you live in lagos it's known as "Shombo". Black pepper could also be gotten in the local and super markets pre-packaged.
Nice job, looking greatly as my work******
this is lovely,i must try this.thanks dobby
You're welcome.
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a colleague
who had been doing a little homework on this. And he in fact ordered me dinner due to the fact that I
discovered it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this issue here on your internet site.
