Step 6Cut the papaya into 1-inch cubes. peel the plantain and cut across into 1-inch pieces.

Step 7Preheat the grill to high, or heat coals until they glow red, with white ash around the edges.
-
Step 8Take the fish cubes from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off; reserve the marinade.
-
Step 9Thread the fish onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of papaya and plantain. Do not crowd ingredients on the kebabs, but leave a little space between so they will cook evenly.
-
Step 10Rub a lightly oiled towel or cloth over the grill, add the kebabs to the hot grill and cook until well browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush a little marinade over the kebabs, then turn and continue cooking until the fish is opaque through, about 5 minutes.
