Go to the store to select ingredients, checking for freshness in vegetables and fish.

Choose a red bell pepper and a green bell pepper, ensuring they are firm and blemish-free.

Select fresh scallions, avoiding any with old buds.

Pick firm cucumbers and limes that feel soft to ensure they are juicy.

Purchase an 8 lb snapper, requesting it to be butterflied and have the head left on.

Prepare a brine with water, scotch bonnet peppers, and ginger, breaking the peppers to release flavor.

Add cut-up lemons, scallion, crushed garlic, red stripe beer, soy sauce, and fish and meat seasoning to the brine.

Add fresh thyme, stripping the leaves off before adding them to the mixture.

Crush pimento seeds and add them to the brine for extra flavor.

Mix everything together and add the snapper, ensuring it is submerged in the brine.

Marinate the snapper for about 2 hours, flipping it after an hour to ensure even flavor distribution.
