Cooking fish on the barbecue is a great idea, but you have to give some thought to which type of fish and which cut for each type of cooking. A delicate small fish like John Dory probably isn’t made for barbecuing and whole fish, like snapper work well wrapped in foil or cooked in the baking dish with the lid down.
To fry or char grill, thick dense and oily fish are all good. Blue eye, swordfish and tuna are all favourites.
The freshness of the herbs and sharpness of the dressing in the salad complement the richness of both the tuna and black beans in this dish

Choose garlic chives that are thin if you can, the thicker ones can be woody and unpleasant to eat. If they’re not available regular chives or shallots cut into 4cm lengths are good to use.

This recipe still has the lovely flavour of black bean. A great recipe if you are watching those kilos.
