We’re blessed in New Zealand with relatively easy access to wonderful seafood. Any fish works well with this recipe but I prefer one with skin on so you can really crisp it up on the BBQ & add crunch. Easily grilled outdoors, teamed with super fresh leaves it makes a lovely lunch or a fresh summer evening meal
