Advice

We highly recommend using swordfish, but sea bass, pollock, and cod also work well. For added flavor, you can skewer pieces of onion, mushrooms … For an even more Thai taste, replace bay leaves with curry leaves. If possible, use organic lemons and limes, whose peel is not treated with harmful pesticides. The skewers can also be grilled on a grill pan. Its best to use organic lemons and limes, whose peel is not treated with pesticides. If organic lemons and limes are not available, soak regular lemons and limes in boiling water for a few minutes and wipe them thoroughly to remove the wax containing toxins.
