make a grilled red snapper head for family dinner this evening.

I have fresh dill, the rest dry herbs.

most important step, thoroughly clean the fish head, remove all blood clotting from head and bones.

rub with salt and squeezed and rubbed with sliced ginger, and 1 tsp of white vinegar, then place in water for 15mins. drain and pat dry with kitchen towels.

seasoned with salt, pepper & herbs. I also sliced tomatoes, would also put sliced lemon but I didn’t have. add slice of butter. place on a rack (I wanted it grilled, can also place on a tray and bake)

then heat oven to 250degC. when ready I add 1 tbsp olive oil. place in oven for 15mins.

voila!

drizzle 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil when serving.
