Ingredients : Serves 4-6

1.5 kg

Tuna of Spanish mackerel in one piece

Sambal ulek or fresh red chilies, ground

Salt

• Buy the portion of fish just above the tail if possible, so that you avoid the stomach cavity.
• Put it a good distance above glowing coals or under a preheated griller and cook fairly slowly until skin is very brown and fish is cooked through to the center bone.
• Serve accompanied by sambal ulek or fresh chilies pounded to a pulp in a mortar and pestle.
• If you do not want too much fire in the sauce, remove the seeds.
• Add a little salt and lemon juice to the chilies and take tiny dabs with the fish.
• To serve the fish, cut into wedges lengthways, following the natural divisions made by the center bone.
