Barbecue Fish

Cultural Context

Barbecue fish has its roots in American outdoor cooking traditions, particularly in coastal regions where fresh catch is abundant. It's a communal dish often enjoyed during summer gatherings and cookouts, celebrating the flavors of the sea with smoky, charred notes. Today, variations can be found globally, with different marinades and cooking methods reflecting local tastes and ingredients.
