From the cold, wild waters of the Atlantic to the warm, vibrant coastline of the Indian Ocean, seafood has shaped cultures, cuisines, and celebrations for centuries. In *British & Australian BBQ Secrets: Fish & Crustaceans – Vol. 3*, award‑winning grill masters Ben Bartlett and Ross Yarranton bring you a culinary journey across continents, revealing how two great BBQ cultures transform the ocean’s finest ingredients over fire.

This volume showcases techniques that elevate fish and crustaceans on the grill—hot smoking, searing, planking, and using native herbs and woods. Inside, you’ll find beautifully crafted recipes, expert tips, and cultural notes that celebrate the flavours of both nations. Whether you’re grilling a whole snapper on a Queensland beach or serving smoked mackerel in a British seaside garden, this book equips you to create bold, mouth-watering seafood feasts.
