Poisson Braisé
Whole sea bream grilled with a spiced herb marinade.
About Poisson Braisé
Claudy identifies poisson braisé with the grilled fish she grew up eating as street food in Cameroon. This version selects her whole sea-bream option and the charcoal-grill method described by the source.
Garlic, ginger, onion, green pepper and fresh herbs form the marinade. Njangsang, African nutmeg, country onion, black pepper and white pepper provide its distinctive seasoning, alongside salt and a prepared seasoning cube.
The whole fish is grilled and basted with the cooked marinade or oil. An onion-and-parsley mix with vinegar is retained as an optional side, keeping its sharp finish separate from the fish's rich seasoning.
