We’ll be featuring one of our favourite BBQ recipes every day, and today that's...

Sizzlin’ Sea Bass with Fennel & Sweet Basil

Sea Bass is probably my favourite fish and when grill-sautéed with fennel & basil, it simply moves onto another plane. The foil helps keep the fish moist and in-shape, if you feel brave try searing the skin and serve skin side-up!

Today’s Brilliant BBQ Tip

Here’s some great Top Barbi Tips & Advice on how to be a Better BBQ’er...

BBQ Advice No. 1
Burnt BBQ is Bad!

View more Barbi Tips

Thankfully long gone are the days of a burnt burger in a limp bap, doused in ketchup and served with the cry, ‘if it ain’t – it ain’t BBQ!’ Burnt food is bad for you, it doesn’t look or taste good, it certainly doesn’t do you any good either! Happily, the majority of today’s Barbi’s are the antithesis of the bad old burnt BBQ days.

Top BBQ Facts

Here are some brilliant Barbi tips to help you get the very best out of your BBQ and alfresco eating & entertaining this summer!

BBQ Fact No. 20
BBQ All Year-round!

Get more BBQ Facts

Apart from summer 24% of us now have BBQ’s during the spring, with an average around 10 million BBQ’s being held over recent Easter holidays with a further 5% claiming to BBQ all year-round. Allegedly around 175k people also claim to have BBQ’ed their Christmas dinner!

Legends of the Grill?

Here are some of the most surprising and possibly (un)believable BBQ stories that we’ve come across over the years…

Legend No.3 - Biggest Single BBQ Cook-off!

Following a bet, the largest ever single BBQ cook-off occurred in 1999 in Kansas City when 5 steers were roasted in a huge pit for nearly 2 days, with a 100 gallons of BBQ sauce, the subsequent grill-fest lasted for a further 3 days and fed over 175 hungry BBQ fans.
