Water Meets Fire: Fish on the Grill

Fish live in water. But they acquire their maximum flavor from fire. This truth is not lost on grill jockeys around the world, who grill everything imaginable, from tiny sardines to spectacular whole flamed sea bass, from Turkish and Brazilian swordfish kebabs to chile-laced Bahamian-style snapper. Grilling was probably the first way man cooked fish and, as my travels suggest, it remains the best.
