This adjective describes food that is roasted or broiled over fire, as opposed to boiled or baked. In Luke 24:42, the disciples give the risen Jesus food: 'They gave him a piece of broiled fish.' The detail emphasizes the physical, material nature of the resurrection—Jesus eats real food prepared in a normal way. Broiled fish was common fare, and Jesus' consumption proves he's not a ghost or vision but has a tangible, physical body. The ordinary detail anchors the extraordinary miracle in material reality.
