Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Fish

Clean the whole fish by removing the scales and guts. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Season the Fish

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the fish, inside and out. Place lemon slices and fresh herbs inside the cavity of the fish.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, ensure the coals are glowing and covered with white ash.

Grill the Fish

Place the fish directly on the grill grate. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the skin is crispy and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

Serve

Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with remaining lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
