Grilled Red Snapper with Mango-Pepper Salsa

The key to this dish is the ripeness of the mango and the fresh ingredients for the salsa, you want the mango to be firm enough to handle the grill, but ripe enough to be sweet and delicious. I used a frozen filet of red snapper and it worked out great. Of course if you can find it fresh even better. Red snapper is a commonly found fish on the menu in Antigua and Barbuda.
