About the dish

Tambaqui na brasa is a fish dish consisting of a whole tambaqui fish that's covered inside and out with a marinade typically made with olive oil, salt, pepper, various herbs, garlic, and lime slices, but that will differ from recipe to recipe. The fish is then grilled until it catches color and is cooked through. Rice, rice and beans, tucupi sauce, and lemon slices usually accompany the dish.
