Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets, then cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Finely mince 1 garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Add the fish cubes to the bowl, ensuring that each piece is fully coated in the lemon herb marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated fish cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing them evenly.
Once the grill is ready, carefully place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two. Serve warm with a side of fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
