"an Aussie Barbie", Emeril Style
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2000

Ingredients
1 (1 1/2 to 2 pound)whole Australian fish, such as Barramundi, Murry
Cod, or skate, scaled and gutted
2 medium rock lobsters, halved lengthwise
2 pounds medium prawns, peeled and deveined (head and tail-intact)
2 medium King crabs
Olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 dozen Rock or Sydney Rock oysters
2 tablespoons tamarind paste
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons dark cane syrup
3 tablespoons dark molasses
2 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoons water
4 whole lemons, halved
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions
Preheat the grill.
Using a small sharp knife, make several slashes on both sides of the whole fish. Season the whole
fish, lobsters, prawns, and crabs with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the whole fish and crab on
the grill.
In a small food processor, combine the tamarind, garlic, jalapeno, cane syrup, molasses, ketchup and
water. Season with salt and pepper. Process until smooth. Brush the seafood with the tamarind
mixture, several times while grilling. The grilling time will vary according to size. The whole
fish and crabs should go on first, they usually take about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on weight. The
lobsters with take about 6 to 7 minutes. The prawns and oysters about 4 to 6 minutes, again
depending on size. **The lobster and crab shell will turn bright reddish pink and the prawns will
turn pink and their tails will turn in.
Place all of the fish on a large platter. Squeeze the lemons over the seafood and garnish with
parsley.
