Prepare an Asian basting sauce using 9 tablespoons of oyster sauce, plum sauce, hot sauce, garam masala, cumin, grated ginger, and chili sauce.

Baste the fish with the sauce and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Ensure the fish is dry before grilling to avoid steaming.

Grill the fish over medium heat on direct flame for about 7-10 minutes, skin side down first.

Baste the fish with the sauce while grilling and turn it after a few minutes to cook evenly.
