It’s fishing season and that means you’ll get fresher fish that you’ve caught or bought at your local butcher or fish monger. Kingklip is a popular white fish found along the South African coastline. If you’re having a seafood braai, you have to try our lemon butter kingklip and mushroom parcels. Not only is it a great way to cook fish but you can make parcels for each person.
Lemon butter kingklip and mushroom parcels
Kingklip is relatively dense which gives it a great texture, even when steamed in the parcels. For your parcels, use baking paper or make double layer foil parcels with a few small holes for steam to escape. The steamed vegetables and mushrooms add flavour to the fish and the whole parcel is one meal. However, this dish goes great with rice or fresh bread with a thick spread of butter.
Summer means more seafood and seafood is great on the braai. Try our lemon butter kingklip and mushroom parcels!
