Chef's Notes
The Story Behind Grilled Reef Fish
Grilling fish over open coals is the most fundamental cooking method in Vanuatu. The surrounding coral reefs provide abundant fish species that form the protein backbone of the diet.
Coconut husk coals burn hot and give a subtle sweet smokiness to the fish.
This preparation has remained unchanged for thousands of years across the archipelago.
