Clean and gut the fish, then pat dry with paper towels.

Marinate the fish with lime juice, salt, and pepper for 15 minutes.

Blend garlic, shallots, chili, lemongrass, ginger, and sugar into a paste.

Mix the paste with kecap manis and vegetable oil to create a marinade.

Coat the fish with the marinade, ensuring it is well covered.

Wrap the fish in banana leaves to keep it moist during grilling.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the wrapped fish on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes on each side.

Unwrap the fish carefully to avoid steam burns.

Check for doneness; the flesh should be opaque and flake easily.

Serve the grilled fish with fresh lime and a side of sambal.
