We love a snoek braai and for as many families that braai snoek there must be as many recipes. Most of my friends use apricot jam, but we have a different way of doing things in our house. Here is our recipe – try it and enjoy!
Snoek Braai
Ingredients
- 1 whole snoek
- coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Method
- open the snoek so it is skin side down and cover the flesh with the coarse sea salt
- leave for 20 minutes and then wash off
- pat dry
- mix together the olive oil, garlic and mayonnaise
- brush this onto the flesh (if you have a really HUGE snoek, you may need more of the mixture)
- braai flesh side down until the mayonnaise starts to melt
- turnover and continue braaing until the fish is done

OK…attempt number three…I tried to add you to my blogroll and my comment vanished…I feel SO stupid.
I have moments like that all the time! Have a good weekend 🙂
I wish you people would not talk about food when I am so hungry….that sounds really good…anything with garlic sounds good to me!

Ours is totally different, use olive oil and lemon, but I’ll try yours next time.
