How to cook fish on BBQ

The best way to eat fish

Whether barramundi, red snapper, mulloway or trout - the larger the whole fish, the greater the distance from the embers it must be. This reduces the heat and protects the fish from direct, intense radiated heat and will be cooked on the inside as well. It takes time to prepare fine FRESH FISH on a grill.
You can enhance the flavor with sprigs of herbs (thyme, rosemary, juniper) which you place on the edge of the fire. The sprigs should never be allowed to catch fire, just generate enough smoke to produce the aroma.
STEP

Ready-to-cook whole fish: scaled and gutted by FRESH FISH specialists. Rinse the abdominal cavity thoroughly under running water, then dry it carefully with paper towels both inside and outside
STEP

Slashing: (Only large fish over 1 kg in weight) Slash the fish 4-5 times on both sides in intervals of 2-3 cm. With this method grilling the rear and tail take the same length of time.
STEP

Season the fish inside and out with freshly ground salt and pepper, cover liberally with the marinade and fill the abdominal cavity with a variety of fresh herbs (marjoram, rosemary, sage, thyme)

STEP

Place the fish on the rack only when the embers are covered with a layer of gray ash and the flames no longer flicker. The grate must be clean and oiled. The distance between the grate and the embers must be as wide as possible.

STEP

Grill fish for two people (600-800 g) for 15-18 minutes on each side (for 1-1.5 kg of fish about 20-24 minutes) and continually brush with the marinade. Lift the fish gently from the grill to turn it on its back.

STEP

After 8-10 minutes (larger fish, after 10-12 min) grill the other side, pierce the back with the thermometer. The fish is done when a temperature of 65° C is reached, or alternatively, when the dorsal fin can be removed easily.
A special bricklayer's trowel is our most reliable "grilling tool", flat, wide, thin. With it whole fish and fish fillets on the grill are easy to handle. always serve grilled FRESH FISH piping hot
