Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the fresh herbs thoroughly and let them dry.
Fresh turmeric, peel off the skin, slice it thinly, and pound it into a paste.
Clean the flying fish by gutting it and rinsing it with diluted saltwater to make it cleaner.
Tip: Fresh turmeric can easily stain your hands, so it’s advisable to use plastic gloves while preparing.
Tip for removing turmeric stains from hands:
- You can pour some fresh milk into a bowl, use cotton to soak a little and apply it to the stained area; the yellow color of the turmeric will quickly disappear.
- You can also use a mixture of sugar and a little water, mix until the sugar dissolves, then apply it evenly to the skin with cotton.
Tip for removing turmeric stains from knives:
- You can use alcohol and dishwashing tools to scrub vigorously.
- Then rinse with dish soap once, and wash again with clean water.

Marinate the Fish
Marinate the fish with turmeric, a little monosodium glutamate, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, a little pepper, a little chili paste, and add chopped chili, then mix well. Let the fish absorb the spices.

Grill the Fish
Place a piece of banana leaf on the grill, add a layer of lime leaves, then place the fish on top.
Take another whole piece of banana leaf, place it on top of the fish, carefully fold the edges, secure it with the grill, and place it on the charcoal stove to grill until the fish is fragrant and golden on both sides.

How to choose fresh, delicious fish:
- Fresh fish should be purchased from a store selling live seafood, ensuring food safety.
- Choose fish with clear eyes, bright red gills, and avoid buying those with dark red gills or cloudy eyes, as they are no longer fresh.
- You can press the fish’s flesh with your hand; if it feels firm and not mushy, it can be selected.
- If it feels slimy to the touch, it should not be chosen.
