Step-by-step cooking

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to fry a fish kebab on the grill? Prepare the necessary products. I use halibut steaks - the fish is quite fatty and contains few bones. You can take any other fish of sufficiently fatty species with a small number of bones. All kinds of noble varieties of fish are perfect: salmon, trout, sturgeon. But mackerel is also perfect. It is best to take the fish chilled - it is much healthier frozen and contains much less water.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash the fish well and cut into medium-sized pieces. Do not grind so that the barbecue is not dry.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Put the sliced fish in a pickling container. It is desirable that it was with a lid. You can add a little salt. Lately I practically don't salt fish, lemon juice is enough for me. Well, it's a matter of taste!

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    We only need juice from lemon, so it's quite possible to use factory-made lemon juice. If you squeeze the juice out of a lemon, then pre-wash it well with very hot water, so the lemon will release much more juice. Pour lemon juice over the fish. It will remove the excess fishy smell.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Pour in the kefir. Kefir is an excellent marinade for all types of kebabs.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Peel the onion, cut into rings or half rings.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Add the onion to the fish, mix everything well. Leave to marinate for any amount of time from 1 to 24 hours.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Before cooking, light a fire, wait until they burn out and there will be hot coals. It is best to take birch firewood, - with them the shish kebab turns out very fragrant. Or you can take ready-made factory-made coals and just heat them up.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Wash the skewers, pierce them directly on the grill. String the pieces of fish on skewers and spread them on the grill.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Since the fish is quite fatty, when frying, droplets of fat can cause fire when they get on the coals. Therefore, make sure that there is no open flame and the barbecue does not burn. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side, turning over periodically. The fish is cooked fast enough and the total cooking time will be about 25 minutes.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Of course, the shish kebab should be served immediately while it is hot. Enjoy your meal!

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.

For this recipe, it is better to take not frozen, but fresh fish, otherwise the finished fish risks getting dry.
