SEDGWICK’S FISH BRAAI FOR SUMMER SIZZLE

Add some extra sizzle to summer with Sedgwick’s Original Old Brown as the secret ingredient to a fish braai.
Fish is definitely meant for braaing and by adding a touch of Sedgwick’s you’ll discover just how versatile South Africa’s most iconic fortified wine is. 
Sedgwick’s Original Old Brown, launched in 1916, is named after Captain James Sedgwick, master of the famous tea clipper Undine. Legend has it that when he retired at the Cape in 1853, he was the centre of attraction at his tavern, The Captain’s Rooms, where sailors on shore leave gathered to hear his tales of the high seas.  That charisma and spirit of adventure to this day lives on in Sedgwick’s Original Old Brown.
Try this delicious way of braaing snoek and gather your friends for a feast! And for something refreshing to enjoy whilst you wait, simply add a tot of Sedgwick’s to 200ml of ginger ale or lemonade and plenty of ice. It really is that easy!

OLD BROWN SNOEK BRAAI

1 x West Coast snoek, cleaned (or any other firm, white fish)
Sea salt flakes
30 ml olive oil

For the basting sauce
80 ml Sedgwick’s Original Old Brown
60 ml apricot jam
100 g butter
15 ml finely chopped garlic

A small hand full chopped fresh parsley

100 g soft apricots soaked in 60 ml Sedgwick’s Original Old Brown
1 orange sliced
                                                                          
1.      Season the snoek inside and out and score the skin on both sides. Set aside until needed.
2.      For the basting sauce: mix all the ingredients together in a small saucepan and simmer until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
3.      Baste the inside of the snoek with the sauce and place the soaked apricots and orange slices inside. Tie the snoek up with string and baste the outside with the sauce. Grill over the coals until cooked and golden. Serve with extra grilled lemons.
