Iraqi grilled fish - A twist on masgouf that you can make at home | Episode 7 - Dine & Discover

I've taken inspiration from a famous Iraqi dish known all across the Middle East called Masgouf. It's traditionally made with a butterflied carp simply marinated with lemon and tamarind and then grilled over an open fire pit.

In my take I've added a few more ingredients to make a flavoursome marinade to cover your fish.

The tangy tamarind with the zesty lemon gives the fish the most incredible taste. Of course the fish isn’t complete without the all important mango sauce that has the perfect blend of sweet and sourness.
