Marinate the Fish
Rinse the whole tilapia under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the tilapia in a large dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the fish is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grill the Tilapia
Remove the tilapia from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the fish directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Use a spatula to carefully turn the fish halfway through cooking.
