Using foil will make the fish steam and won’t not have that BBQ taste. If it was catfish I will advise you use foil cuz if it’s soft skin. Croaker fish has a tough skin to withstand the fire but you need to ensure you keep monitoring and turning it to prevent it from burning.
Wow! Fantastic demonstration and clear instructions - that's a lot of peppers but I am salivating. What is Suya pepper though - it looks like paprika? Anyway I want to eat that fish but don't have a charcoal grill.
@@JULINKSTV so sorry as my reply doesn't seem to be there from 4 months ago. Anyway I thought I should have another look at your video and noticed my response wasn't there. Apologies for the delay in letting you know how it went. It was fantastic although it was a bit too hot for my wife. I really enjoyed it so recently I cooked it again for my son and his girlfriend and it came out even better. I tried it again last weekend so I'm getting better at doing it in the oven. It's quite a robust fish and can take quite a bit of cooking especially in the marinade. I've tried it with plantain chips, potato chips and rice cooked in fish stock and they were all great. Thanks for a great recipe!
I just stumbled on your channel. Please what is the suya pepper. Do you mean grinded dried pepper? Is it sold separately in the local market? Thanks. Note: the grilled fish can go with roasted plantain or potato chips I guess.
you can actually get suya pepper from those who sell spice in the market it's not peppery like normal pepper it has flavour just like it taste when eating suya
Ensure your charcoal is 100% hot before placing the fish on the grill. It takes 20 mins for each side of the fish to get cooked which makes it a total of 40 mins for each fish to be ready for eating.
Thanks for the question. Catfish skin is kind of oily and slipper. Adding oil to the mixture would make the fish drip too much and ingesting too much oil is not good for human's health.
The skin of the croaker fish is strong enough to withstand the heat and I want it smoked and not just cooked. I’ve seen people apply the foil method, you can try it out.
Hi I appreciate your videos, you put so much salt why please even after adding seasoning cubes there must be a reason even in ur catfish video you put so much salt. Doesnt it become too salty?? Also does the suya pepper takes the taste to another level? Thanks!
