Barbecued mackerel with ginger, chilli & lime drizzle

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 small whole mackerel , gutted and cleaned

1 large red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
1 small garlic clove , finely chopped
small knob fresh root ginger , finely chopped
2 tsp honey
finely grated zest and juice of 2 lime
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp Thai fish sauce

Whisk 2 tbsp olive oil and all the other ingredients together in a small bowl. 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.
