Note:
– Blucurrent has Grouper, Red Snapper and Barramundi whole fish or fillets as alternatives.
– Blucurrent fish comes gilled, gutted and descaled so it’s easy to prepare.
– Thaw the frozen fish in its original sealed bag; at room temperature (kitchen sink) for 4 hours or in the fridge for at least 12 hours. Skip this if it’s not a frozen fish.
– Give the whole fish a cut on each side, it will help with even broiling and easier to check on the fish done-ness.
Do not bake it over aluminum wrap as it will actually trap the fish juice and will not give you a good char to the fish.
