Best 6 Easy Grilled Whole Fish Recipe By Tasty Recipes

EASY GRILLED WHOLE FISH RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse fish inside and out with cold water, then pat dry with a paper towel.
• Stuff cavity with salt, pepper, lemon, parsley, or any favorite herbs or spices.
• Drizzle skin with olive oil. Place in a loose pouch of heavy duty aluminum foil and splash with white wine. Roll the foil shut so that liquid or air can't escape but leave a space between the top of the fish and the top of the foil pouch.
• Cook on a medium-high grill for about 12 to 18 minutes depending on the size of the fish.

GRILLED WHOLE FISH

Steps:

• Preheat grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, drizzle cavity of each fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Aromatics help keep whole fish moist while grilling. Stuff 1 fish cavity with lemon slices and dill and the other with lime slices, basil, and Thai chiles. If using just 1 filling, double amounts called for.
• Fasten each opening with a wooden skewer or toothpicks that have been soaked in water so they don't burn. This keeps the aromatics inside and also makes fish easier to handle on the grill.
• Using a paring knife, make long, 1/4-inch-deep diagonal slashes at 2-inch intervals on both sides of fish so they cook evenly throughout. This also allows any seasonings on skin (see step 5) to penetrate.
• Rub both sides of each fish with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper, working all into slashes as well as heads and tails -- both are edible, and the tail becomes delightfully crisp when grilled.
• Brush hot grill with vegetable oil; immediately place fish on grill. Cook, undisturbed and uncovered, until undersides are charred and flesh along gills on undersides turns opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Turn fish with 2 large spatulas. If they stick, wait a few seconds until skin sears enough to release cleanly. Grill on other side until charred and fish are just cooked through and opaque, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Serve fish with lemon and lime wedges and more herbs. To serve, cut fillet free from top side of fish and remove with a spatula. Remove bones to free other fillet.

GRILLED WHOLE TROUT RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• On a cutting board, pat the trout dry with paper towels, making sure to get inside the cavity.
• 2, Generously season the fish with salt and pepper on all sides, including the cavity.
• Stuff the lemon slices, scallions, ginger, and cilantro in the cavity of each fish.
• Slip 2 pieces of kitchen twine under each trout and tie to secure the filling inside.
• Brush both sides of the fish generously with olive oil.
• Preheat the grill to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Dip a paper towel in olive oil and generously rub over the grates of the grill. Place the trout over indirect heat and close the lid. Grill for 6 minutes. Carefully flip the fish over and continue grilling with the lid closed for 6 minutes, until cooked through.
• Cut the twine off the fish. To remove the bones, take the filling out of the cavity and gently nudge the fish apart. The bones will begin to separate from the flesh. Run your fingers along the bones to loosen, then lift the tail straight up to remove the bones and head, leaving the clean fillets behind.
• Enjoy!
