Grilled Whole Fish

Seems like Boss or Mr. Balls fixed a whole grilled fish with pics. Maybe both of them. Mr. Balls did one recently. I think Boss was a good while back.

Here's Boss's thread.

That's the thread! Thanks.

I have some whole freshwater bass that I am going to try this with tonight. Has anyone tried this?

Yes. They are good. Lately I've just baked them whole in the oven. They're good like that too.

I did a 3-1/2 pound red snapper like that a week ago on the grill. I cooked it with the head and tail on. I cut slits in the side of it and shoved fresh oregano up in there if I remember right. Put oregano and lemon slices inside the belly. Rubbed it down with olive oil and salt and pepper and grilled it over medium high heat. Seemed like I cooked it for about 5 minutes per side. I didn't flip it until the skin was pretty crispy and would not stick to the grill. I thought it was pretty juicy and tasty. My kids and wife looked at me funny when I served the fish all hole with the head on but they ate the thing. I used some Bobby Flay recipe off the Food Network site. If I were to do it again I would cook smaller fish for each person versus a big snapper.
