About this dish
Ikan bakar is the Indonesian and Malay name for charcoal-grilled fish or other seafood; the term literally means "grilled fish" in both languages. The dish differs from other grilled-fish preparations in the seasonings used: a flavouring paste (bumbu), sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), and sambal, with the fish wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked on a charcoal fire. The dish is found across Indonesia and Malaysia.
