Today we have a guest blogger! Dobby blogs about recipes and delicious food at DobbysSignature. I asked her to share one of her healthy recipes with out readers, and here it is.

At a recent family gathering, I got to savor one of the tastiest fish barbecues ever. This was prepared by Sunday, a pro in the fish barbecue business. I found myself going back for One……..Two……….Three helpings of whole fish. Call it gluttony, but if you ask me I’d say the fish was “fantabulously gooooood!!!”. It was spicy, hot & full of flavor. I first got drawn to his barbecue stand by the aroma and after a little chitchat; he was kind enough to show me how it’s being prepared. Let’s take a look below:

Prep time: 40 mins

Cook Time: 12 mins

3 Whole Croaker Fish

3 tbsp. freshly ground Red Chili pepper 

1 tbsp. freshly ground Black pepper 

2 tbsp. Vegetable Oil

Directions
