Bold, oily, and unmistakably South African — this is the fish that belongs on the braai, in the smoker, or slow-cooked in a pot with apricot jam and a handful of spices or for a lovely curry.

For a smoky oven bake: wrap in foil with butter, garlic, and fresh herbs and roast at 180°C for 25–30 minutes. Snoek also works beautifully in a curry — flake the cooked fish into a spiced tomato base and serve over rice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeason with our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/fish-spice-50g\"\u003eFish Spice\u003c\/a\u003e or add heat with our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cajun-spice-50g\"\u003eCajun Spice\u003c\/a\u003e.
