The last inning of the seemingly endless summer and our fabulous South Carolina peaches inspired this gorgeous ready for the grill fish kebab.
One of my most favorite proteins to work with is fish, but living inland finding good, truly fresh fish was a challenge, until the Saltwater Markets opened in Clover, SC and Gastonia, NC! Just take a look at Saltwater Market’s Facebook page, Clint Boyd’s excitement at opened boxes of top notch fish especially flown in shine through; these guys really care about getting you good product!
For this segment, Saltwater Markets supplied me with the most amazing local fish you never heard of, Wreckfish; so called as this deep-water fish is found far off shore in it’s habitat of shipwrecks and gullies. With a firm white fish similar to grouper, and a mild taste, this was an outstanding choice for the fish kebabs. Of course any firm white fish will work should this particular kind not be around.
A wrap of prosciutto retained the moisture of the fish on the grill and imparted a touch of saltiness. Threaded with peaches, zucchini, I finished the kebab with a Za’atar spice blend, and an easy pomegranate glaze.
