Cape Town Classic Snoek Braai (Barbeque)


I am not sure where this recipe come's from, but what I am sure of is that once your tried this Snoek Braai, You will be HOOKED. This is a Cape Town Favorite among the fishermen and you can feed a family of up to 12 people.
Take a large sheet of foil, (more than double the size of the snoek) and place your snoek skin down on top of the foil. If possible use industrial foil or just fold your foil double to strengthen it.

Take a l x 500g butter and cut it into 7 blocks.

Pack the butter over the snoek and top it with loads of garlic, cheese, tomato and onion. Don't forget the salt and pepper.

Then take the florets of an large cauliflower and pack them on the snoek. Wrap the  snoek with the foil, but do not wrap it tight. There must be room for steam to build up.


Braai the snoek for about 45 min over a not to hot fire.


Why this method?


The garlic, butter and snoek blend will steam and flavor the cauliflower and gives it a crayfish taste.

Serve with fresh butter rolls......this will will serve 8 - 12 people.
