Overview

The flesh of this fish is white and reasonable eating, providing moisture is not lost during the cooking process. To reduce the fish from drying out wrap it in a banana leaf or grease proof paper (in aluminium foil if on the barbecue) as it will help keep it moist and steam in its own juices inside the wrapping. The fish can be barbecued instead of steamed, in which case the wrapping protects the delicate flesh from the intense heat of the barbecue.
