Lime Pepper Grilled Wahoo
This simple recipe is as good as it gets and a Cayman favorite---but the wahoo must be fresh. If you prefer, saute in hot peanut oil instead of grilling. The cooking time will be about the same.
Place fish in a resealable bag and squeeze in the lime juice. Seal bag and turn several times gently to coat fish, then refrigerate and marinate 30 minutes. Remove the fish, drain and brush lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with pepper and salt.
Place fish on a barbecue grate or fish rack and grill quickly over a medium fire until fish just begins to separate when prodded with a fork (only about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness - the lime has already partially 'cooked' the fish).
I used the above recipe this past week, and BC I'm on a low fat,low sodium diet, used garlic powder instead of garlic salt and BC of the weather (it was really cold), broiled inside instead of grilling. Broiled ~ 6 to 8 minutes per side (one steak was thick ~ 1.5"). It was superb and very simple to prepare! Enjoy.
I have had many good Wahoo meals. But every once in a while I get one that taste like crap. Is it just me, am I doing something wrong or is it Wahoo in general ?
Great recipe. I just tried it tonight with some wahoo that I caught at the end of October. It was great with five month old fish, it's gotta be even better with fresh wahoo. Come on summer.
