Prepare the whole fish by scoring it three times on each side.

In a bowl, mix duster ginger, fish seasoning, pepper, and Nando's sauce together.

Add a stock cube to the mixture, noting that no additional salt is needed due to the stock cube.

Rub the seasoning mixture into the scored cuts of the fish and inside the cavity.

Place the fish in a baking dish and top it with sliced red pepper, onion, and a dot of garlic.

Add fresh bay leaves from the garden on top of the fish.

Drizzle a drop of vegetable oil over the fish to prevent sticking.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for one hour.

After one hour, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until finished.
