How to Grill a Whole Fish | Grilling Fridays | Serious Eats
Grilling may be one of our favorite ways to cook a whole fish—the intense direct heat does wonders for the skin, crisping it up while the coals below impart a delicious flavor to the fish itself. Granted, it’s not quite as easy as just tossing a whole fish in the oven, but a few key steps will guarantee it comes out perfect every time. Here’s how to get it done.

You don’t really need to put oil everywhere. Fish is oily enough in nature

So I thought there's a proper way to grill a fish since I was grilling fish from 10 years old as we camp out near the rivers nor sea. First thing he did…. The basic white people seasoning. Salt and pepper. I'm out. Hahahahaha. No thanks. Our seasoning is much better in Asia. Cool trick tho. For u guys
Putting Lemon into your fish will give it a very bitter tasted if you cook with it. Lemon goes on your fish after you cook.
Scale it first
Looks delicious and explained very simple

i never put oil on fish or the grill it never sticks if the grill is hot enough ,put some slashes on the fish so it cooks evenly .
Love it!! I used to use a propane grill and after using my Weber, the food just tastes so much better and the temp MyBest.Kitchen control is so easy! Will never use a propane grill again!

What’s the culinary term for cooking whole fish. I ask because I was under the assumption that branzino was a style of whole fish cooking. I was all excited when I ordered it tonight and was served branzino filet. It was delicious and I enjoyed it, but now I’m curious as to what whole fish culinary terminology is. I’ve seen some whole fish cured and baked in salt, some in parchment, and some grilled or pan fried whole. Do these all have specific terms? Thank you in advance.
Thats how i grill!! Always! I get all those vitamins
Oil before seasoning
How painful will that fish feels being putting on grill
So simple! No need for a PHD to do this. Thank you!
The way we do it in my house, we mince garlic and add mix it with salt then we smear it on the fish realllyyyyy well and thats it. it's DELICIOUS!!!
Can you do this on gas cooker grill?
Excellently helpful video 👌
Very very skilled video making. I can not but fall in love of your skill.❤
Name of fish ?
And again no mention of how hot the grill should be
I am grilling fish today over charcoal. Haven't done it in a long story time. Came to confirm knowledge.
Thanks.
Nice video.
Are you cooking this with the lid closed?
I just tried all this with a nice pickerel and it never released. The whole thing is messed up now….I have no idea where I went wrong
Not a right way to cut it from bottom, all top spine fish should be cut from top, then U can grill the inside from a decent distance with or without seasoning, remember, if the fish is still fresh from water, never wash it after removing its intestine & insides coz watering it will let it lose its natural taste , cheers
