Grilled fish skewers

Radka Horaczech · June 23, 2020 ·

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The Czech Republic is a land-locked country so I wasn’t exposed to much seafood as a child. The country does have a lot of lakes and rivers, though so fresh-water fish are a staple in Czech cuisine. We eat fried carp on Christmas Eve. In summer, many restaurants have grilled trout and other local fish on their menus. My grandfather would take me fishing but I couldn’t sit by the lake as long as he could. He’d sit there all day and come home with a lot of fish until my grandma couldn’t keep up cooking it and fitting it in the freezer. We’d make whole fish or skin-on bone-in fillets wrapped in foil on the grill or directly in charcoal. These recipes are inspired by what I usually have in the fridge and wanting to use these beautiful skewers. You can skewer different kinds of fish with whatever vegetables and herbs you like. Soy sauce and lemon juice make a great marinade for seafood. 

Grilled fish skewers with tomatoes

A great way to make fish in summer is to skewer it with veggies and put it on the grill. It's easy and cooked in no time.

Grilled fish skewers with olives

Cod fish skewers with olives and soy sauce marinade are a great summer dish of fresh seafood on the grill. If you don't have metal skewers, use the wooden ones. This dish takes no time to make so you can have dinner done while enjoying the pool before the sun sets.
