The dominant flavor is the rich, slightly sweet taste of the Tambaqui fish, which is naturally fatty and flavorful. The grilling process imparts a smoky char to the skin, adding depth and complexity. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic, lime juice, and sometimes regional herbs and spices like cilantro, chives, or a touch of chili. The fat content of the fish contributes to its moistness and creates a luscious mouthfeel.

Proper Scaling and Cleaning
Ensure the Tambaqui is thoroughly scaled and cleaned to remove any unwanted flavors. The fish should be fresh and of good quality for the best taste.
Scoring the Fish
Score the fish's skin before grilling. This helps the seasoning penetrate deeper and allows the fish to cook more evenly.
Grilling Technique
Use indirect heat to cook the Tambaqui slowly and prevent burning. Basting with oil or butter during grilling keeps the fish moist and adds flavor.
Serving Suggestions
