Grilled Garlic Fish

In Spicy Main Dishes by Dave DeWittLeave a Comment

This is a simple but classic method of preparing any firm, white-fleshed fish in the Philippines. To make the coconut vinegar, soak 2 tablespoons of grated coconut in 1/4 cup white vinegar for 30 minutes. You can use a fish basket on the grill so the fillets don’t stick. Serve with an Asian hot sauce as described above. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.
