Step 1
Heat the braai (charcoal grill) until coals are glowing and hot, about 10 minutes. Pat the snoek dry inside and out.
Step 2
Rub the fish inside and out with 2 tbsp olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes.
Step 3
Place snoek directly on the grill grate over hot coals. Cook 6–7 minutes per side without moving until the skin chars and the flesh flakes easily.
Step 4
Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Step 5
Scatter fresh herbs over the top. Serve hot with extra lemon wedges on the side.
