How to Make Bahamian Grilled Fish
- In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and 1-2 finely chopped scotch bonnet peppers (adjust to your spice preference).
- Add 1.5 lbs fish fillets (or 1 whole fish, about 1.5 lbs), ensuring they are coated evenly in the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the fish from the marinade and gently scrape off most of the large garlic and ginger pieces, leaving some for flavor.
- Season the fish generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Place the fish on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and beautifully browned. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges and your favorite hot sauce.
