  1. Simply mix together all ingredients until combined.
  2. Basting the snoek: The basting should happen during the time that the flesh side is up while on the grill.
  3. Use a brush or simply drip it onto the fish with a spoon. You can baste as often as you wish until all the basting is used. Recipe via www.capetownmagazine.com
