How to you BBQ fish?

We want to eat more fish and love BBQs

Is there a way to BBQ it without it falling down the grate?

    My mum cooks fish all the time on the bbq, both whole fish and in fillets. For a fillet, she wraps it in a piece of tinfoil , usually with some herbs or tomatoes or white wine, anything else you want to throw in there to give it some flavour. It will still taste different from oven-baking and has that bbq flavour! And for a whole fish, she has a special fish rack especially for bbqs! They're not that expensive from memory.

    You can also wrap a whole fish plus herbs in a damp newspaper, a la Jamie O, and stick it on the barbie :D

    I second this; we've done it on many occasions & it's great.
  • Make sure the fish is well wrapped and the newspaper is well soaked. You'll have a roaring fire otherwise ;)

    tin foil is best and make some lemon butter or garlic butter and herbs its great, 10 mins a side if the coals are red,

    You know its done properly if the eyes are popped and the skin falls off the meat :-) mmmm lovely (trout are good for this)
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.
