Coal-Fired Kettle BBQ Butterfish
Fresh butterfish fillets, cut into 10cm lengths
Method
1. Using a coal-fired BBQ kettle, burn coals for 40-50 minutes, until coals are covered in a white ash and the temperature has cooled to a slow heat.
2. Place fish fillets (four pieces maximum per strip) on 10x40cm strips of BBQ hotplate liner. This will stop the fish from sticking to the hotplate.
3. Cook each side of the fish between 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden, turning once. Note: Check for faster cooking, as BBQ coals may be warmer than expected. Fish should be lightly golden and very tender.
To Serve
Serve fish fillets on a wooden board with a dollop of Romesco sauce.
