For Gordon, the ultimate meals are those that contain wild ingredients and are prepared and enjoyed outdoors in nature where the ingredients come from. Here you get a dish based on freshly caught garfish and where everything can easily be brought along on a fishing trip so the dish can be made over a bonfire on the coast.

Instructions
Step 1/8
Start by catching a couple of garfish and gather some wild onions and sea asters on the beach.
Step 2/8
Make a marinade for the fish consisting of soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil, and brush the fish with this before you put it in the grill rack. It can help to dry the fish off with some paper towels, so the marinade sticks better.
Step 3/8
Cut vegetables and herbs into long thin strips so they are ready.
Step 4/8
Make a cozy bonfire on the beach and make sure you end up with a solid portion of scorching hot embers.
Step 5/8
Now you place the rack directly on the embers so the fish gets intense heat. The skin may burn in a few places. Turn the rack so it gets the same on both sides and set the fish aside. When it has cooled for a moment you can easily pick the meat off the green bones.
Step 6/8
Then you put a piece of rice paper in water – (possibly fresh seawater) – and let it sit there for a short moment before you place it on a wet cutting board.
Step 7/8
Then you combine fish, vegetables and herbs and give it a splash of soy sauce and roll it as tightly as you can.
Step 8/8
Now it is ready to be cut into slices and dipped and served with a little sweet Thai chili sauce.
