Tandoori Fish
| Tandoori fish is not a traditional tandoori recipe
as fish was hard to come by in the Punjab. Recently however it has become
a delicacy. Practically any type of fish can be used, mackerel, salmon,
trout, swordfish, cod or even shellfish is good. |

The marinade used for this tandoori fish dish is the same as used for
tandoori chicken and lamb but with 3 less garlic cloves.
Traditionally, tandoori dishes are cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor.
You can achieve an authentic flavor with this tandoori fish dish using
your own barbecue grill.
