Barbecuing Fish

Fillets of fish tend to dry out over an open fire but small whole fish have a layer of fat under the skin that protects them. Because of this I tend to wrap fillets in aluminium kitchen foil with some butter or oil and seasonings. While grilling small whole fish, baste them with oil or butter. For large fish, I like the old fisherman’s method of wrapping the fish in newspaper and buying it in the coals.
