“Banana Wrapped Charcoal Fish is a flavourful fish steamed and grilled over charcoal which adds so much flavour into the fish.”
Charcoal fish is nothing but whole fish marinated in spicy lemon marinate which is then wrapped in banana leaf and grilled to smoky and charred. The charred texture add so much flavour into the fish. I used simple marination like chilli powder, cumin, turmeric, lemon, coconut milk and coconut oil. It was super delicious.
Charcoal fish was always on my to do bucket list for quite sometimes. Last weekend we decided to do it and shoot a video of it for my youtube vlog channel. To my surprise it turned out super delicious. The fish which i used in a large fish called as “paarai meen” You can any white fleshed fish with center bone.
How to get rid of fish smell from fish?
1)Mix salt and turmeric in fish and leave to marinate for 10 mins. Rinse it well.
2)Apply vinegar or lemon juice over fish and wash it well.
3)Apply, salt, turmeric, lemon juice over fish and marinate for 10 mins. Now wash it well.
4)Soak it in milk: Casein, a protein found in milk, will bind to the TMA and leave the fish smelling fresh as ever.
5)Mixture Of Corn Starch, Salt And Powdered Turmeric. Apply this over fish and wash it well.
6)Plain salt water can get rid of the fish smell.
Tips for perfectly cooked fish
