Sizzler – Succulent Seafood

Fish cooked on the Barbeque tastes fantastic. Simple fish fillets, with an herb or butter baste, are extremely easy to cook and are wonderfully healthy for you as well.

There are a few rules however. Firstly, the fish has to be fresh and should be a firm variety like barramundi, flathead, blue eye cod, bream etc. It should also be moist and smell fresh. Fish can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the biggest mistake people make is overcooking it. Seafood is delicate and overcooking spoils the flavour and texture. You can bake it in foil, paper or banana leaves to retain the fish’s natural moisture and of course prawns in their shell can be placed straight onto the barbie.

As for nutritional value, gram for gram, fish is one of the lowest fat, highest protein foods you can eat. It is low in kilojoules and contains minerals such as iodine and calcium, and vitamins A, B, E and D – essential for maintaining good health. Fish oils are high in Omega 3 fats, which have positive health benefits in reducing harmful cholesterol and assisting in preventing heart disease.

But if you think life should be simpler, just nip down to Sizzler for their catch of the day!
