Ingredients
Method
1. In a bowl large enough to hold the fish, mix together the parsley, garlic, cumin, paprika, chilli flakes and salt to taste. Add the fish and mix well. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably longer, in the fridge.
2. Prepare a charcoal fire in an outdoor barbecue or preheat the grill to high.
3. Thread the cubes of fish on to eight or twelve long skewers (two skewers per person). Barbecue or grill the brochettes as near the heat as you can for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the fish is done to your liking. Don’t overcook it or it will become dry and rubbery. Serve hot.
