Shellfish

Planet Barbecue backs me up on this, as grilled and smoked shellfish turn up on at least six continents: In Mexico, where spiny lobsters are grilled not with salsa, but with a fried garlic sauce called mojo de ajo. In Thailand, where cockles are grilled in the shells and dipped in fiery chile lime sauce. In Venice, where scampi come hot off the grill crusted with bread crumbs (you’d think they would burn but they don’t). In Australia, where shrimp on the barbie have come to symbolize the Ozzie obsession with grilling.
