Nigerian Grilled Fish Recipe

Nigerian Grilled Fish
Nigerian Grilled Fish served with Plantains and Rice

Nigerian Grilled fish is simply delicious. I love the way my mom prepares it; tasty, spicy and always on point .

The grilled fish recipe is very simple  and the ingredients can be twisted to suit the available spices and seasonings in your kitchen pantry.

In Nigeria, we make use of Tilapia fish, but the recipe also works pretty well with any tasty fish.  So let’s get cooking.
* Here’s a detailed video recipe on How to Prepare this Nigerian Grilled Fish

Ingredients for Nigerian Grilled fish
• 2 Whole Tilapia/Croaker/sea bream Fish(or any whole fish of choice)
• 1 tablespoonful ground Black pepper
• 1 tablespoonful thyme OR basil OR  dried oregano(Optional but adds nice Herby taste &flavor)
• 1 tablespoonful ground kuli kuli or peanut butter (optional, but you’ll like the nutty taste…give it a try)
• 1 tablespoonful ground Red Chili pepper(or to suit your taste
• ½ teaspoon ginger powder (optional)
• 1 tablespoonful garlic powder/3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bouillon /stock cube/seasoning cube (optional if you are MSG intolerant)
• ½ teaspoon curry powder(optional)
• 3 tablespoonful Vegetable Oil
• ½ teaspoon Salt to taste
Tip: Most of the spices listed here are optional, but the pepper, salt(or seasoning cubes) and oil are the most important ones, so feel free to combine all or a few of them to your taste.

how to prepare nigerian grilled fish

Direction
1. Clean the fish in salted or lime water and remove the scales gills and gut.Rinse thoroughly and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients together until well incorporated(Except the fish of course)

3. Next, Place the fish on a wide aluminum foil(wide enough to cover the fish properly) and with a sharpened knife make some slashes lengthwise on each side of the fish. These slashes will help the marinade to penetrate into the fish and enhance the taste).
TIP: the number of slashes you make will depend on the size & lenght of the fish you are using.

4. Using a brush or your clean hands, rub the marinade mix on the fish and also inside the spaces made by the slashes. Make sure that the fish is well covered with the marinade. Then cover with the foil and leave in the fridge to rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
 Tip: Another effective way to marinade is to dump the fish into a large Ziploc bag and pour the marinade into the bag. Shake rigorously , and leave to rest.

5.  Preheat  the oven grill for 20 minutes at 180C/375F.   while you wait for the fish to soak in the marinade.

6.  Take out the fish from the fridge,  remove the aluminum foil. Grease the grill with oil  and place the fish on the hot grill.
Leave the fish to cook for 5 to 10 minutes on one side before flipping over to the other side.(The time it takes to cook depends on how hot your grill is)
   If you want a very tender fish, you can grill the fish inside the foil.
The fish is  ready when it is beautifully brown on both sides. So take it off the heat, serve and enjoy!

    I’ll like yo know what lime does as part of the marinade. I’ve seen slices of lime served with barbecue fish. What’s the point?

    • June 26, 2022 / 7:24 pm

      There are several reasons, but I’ll mention a few.
      First lime or lemon goes well with fish and also lime
      helps to reduce the intense fish flavor and taste of the fish.
      It also makes the fish taste better and richer

      You can also make use of Catfish, but let it grill for a longer time.One downside is that it wont be as crispy as when tilapia is used.

    Hi nky,the electric oven I have has d option of emitting heat from d top and bottom. Do I set d heat to come out from both sides or just d bottom so that the top is not too dry wen I want to flip over. Nice work here.

    • Nky Lily Lete
      September 1, 2015 / 4:57 am

      Yes, you can do just that, but be aware that the heat from the top can help the top of the fish to cook well without you having to flip it over.

    • Nky Lily Lete
      March 1, 2015 / 6:38 pm

      Next time let it stay a little longer in the oven, so that the hot air will suck up mot of the moisture in the fish. You will know it is crispy just by looking at it.

    So good to be on your blog i actually grilled croaker fish cut in bits and spiced with garlic,fresh pepper,salt ,thyme and 1 boullion stock but it didnt dry well and my spice didnt enter the fish well but now i ve seen my flaws. I didnt pre- heat my oven before placing the fish. Then i want to ask which one is used to grill the long pan in the oven or the long stringy open steel. Also my time has 150c, 175c, and 200c etc wh

    • Nky Lily Lete

      Can I use a George Foreman type grill that has a top and bottom to sandwich the fish as it cooks? Will the skin stick or should I keep it in foil? I had wanted it crispy but I don't have an outside grill.Trying to make this for my Nigerian friends. If I put peppers and onions in it will it mess up the flavor?

    • Nky Lily Lete
      September 23, 2014 / 9:27 am

      Yes, you can make use of it but make sure you grease the grill very well with oil and that it is very hot before placing the fish on it.Nigerian grilled fish are not always stuffed, so don't bother adding the peppers.

      I used the upper one to grill mine,but had to turn the fish over so that the part below can also get some heat and crust. You have to place it very close to the burner, but not too close that the fish touches the burner.

But I have a very big problem which surround the area garnishing the fish and I need mine to be like yours exactly as it appeared on this page.

    Hi, you mentioned that you won't advise one to use foil in a microwave girll. Well, that's what I have and I plan to make one kinda fish that is cooked in foil with potatoes and veggies in it. It's not grilled to the point where it's dry. Infact, you can use a spoon to scoop some of the stock. Have you tried it before? Can you pls shed more light on how it is done? I'll appreciate a quick reply. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

    • Nky Lily Lete
      January 30, 2014 / 8:55 pm

      Hi Maureen, I don't know the type of microwave grill you have, some microwave comes with the grill setting and microwave on the same mark.Most manufacturers advise against using foil paper or any type of metal to prevent sparks and explosion, it'll be good to check the manual for more information.As for the recipe you're talking about, I only prepare it in my oven grill(not microwave grill), simply clean the fish,and marinate as in the recipe above, then place your potatoes and veggies inside the fish, cover with foil and place on the grill.Cook for 15minutes.

    If I will be grilling with the foil on the fish, it means I will keep opening the foil to see if the fish is done, right?

    • Nky Lily Lete
      December 22, 2013 / 10:50 am

      You dont have to keep opening the foil to check… simply time the cooking..let each side cook for about 12 minutes then turn to the other side. Cooking on open grill(without foil) cooks the fish faster and gives it a smoky flavor too.

      Hi dear, it's simply a polythene bag that has a plastic snap that is used to zip it at the top.You also put the fish in a normal nylon bag,pour the marinade, close it tight and shake 🙂

      If it is a microwave grill, I don't recommend foil paper, but if it's just a normal electric grill, go ahead and use the foil.

      I don't put flour while grilling, but if you want to pan fry the fish, you can dip in flour.Thanks for the compliment dear 🙂

      Yes you can use a microwave grill, but the cooking time will depend on the setting of your microwave.

        hello Nky,
        I love what you are doing. My electric oven has option for broil or grill. Which should I use for a crispy fish.

        • August 15, 2019 / 8:08 am

          Hi Rachel, My new oven also has the two settings.
          I use the broil setting( heat from the top), when I want to get a really crispy fish
          and when the top is cooked to my satisfaction,
          I place the fish at the bottom and switch to grill, to make the bottom crispy too without having to turn the fish around.
          Hope this helps. Let me know how it turned out.

            hello NKY,
            Thank you for your quick response. I really appreciate what you are doing here.

            I will like to confirm if grill is the same as bake. My oven does not have grill. it has only broil and bake.

            Also, do I need to use the pan or use the open rack.

            regards

            Hi Racheal,
            if your oven only has the broil and bake,then
            you bake with the bake and grill with the broil setting.
            If I want a crispy fish, I use the open rack , but with the pan underneat to catch drips.
