20Braaied Fish with Tacos and ColeslawBy OZ BraaiFreshly braaied fish is like a lighthouse in a sea of confusion, guiding you towards the delicious shores of satisfaction. The key to achieving a perfectly braaied fish is using fresh fish and cooking it correctly. One of the best tools for braaing fish is a (Toeklaprooster) or our Camp Braai basket, which allows you to cook the fish evenly and flip it quickly without it sticking to the grill or falling apart. It's a must-have for outdoor cooking, whether camping or having a backyard braai.
To make this fish recipe, you can use a variety of fish, including Red Snapper, Barramundi, King Fish, or any other type of fresh fish available. Ask your fishmonger for advice on what type of fish is best for braaing, and make sure to ask for your fish to be gutted, scaled, and for its head to be removed.
Tacos and coleslaw are a great way to enjoy your freshly braaied fish. The combination of flavours and textures creates a mouthwatering experience that is hard to resist. The crispy, smoky fish pairs perfectly with the soft, warm tortillas, while the fresh and crunchy coleslaw adds a delightful crunch to the mix. 20Peri-Peri Chicken and VegBy OZ BraaiHere is one of my personal favourites. Peri-Peri Chicken with vegetables. The reason why this is such an awesome meal is that you can cook both your meat and veggies at the same time and without getting your camp oven or skillet dirty. Harry from Fire to Fork prepared this awesome meal using our Camp Braai with medium coals.
Another method to braai this meal is to hang the braai basket on the stand about 1M away from open flames. It will take about 2.5 hours hanging it next to the fire but it will require less turning because it will slow roast.
