- extra-virgin-olive-oil - 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- mackerel - 4 small whole mackerel, gutted and cleaned
- red-chilli - 1 large red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

- lime - finely grated zest and juice of 2 lime
- sesame-oil - 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions
- Light the barbecue and allow the flames to die down until the ashes have gone white with heat. Make the drizzle by whisking 2 tbsp olive oil and all the other ingredients together in a small bowl, adjusting the ratio of honey and lime to make a sharp sweetness. Season to taste.
- Score each side of the mackerel about 6 times, not quite through to the bone. Brush the fish with the remaining oil and season lightly. Barbecue the mackerel for 5-6 mins on each side until the fish is charred and the eyes have turned white. Spoon the drizzle over the fish and allow to stand for 2-3 mins before serving.
