So............ here is the most recent big experiment: CHARCOAL BROILED RED SNAPPER Ingredients: 1 whole Red Snapper, or any similar fish of your choice, cleaned but not boned 1 lemon ~1/2 stick butter Method: Use 'indirect heat' in a Weber kettle or similar barbecue, and add a few hickory chips if you wish. Make a pan for baking out of aluminum foil. Spray foil with 'Pam' to prevent sticking. Place fish in pan, and cover with thin slices of lemon. Place on grill and baste with melted butter. If heat is sufficiently diffuse, no need to turn - just baste frequently til meat flakes from bones. (I think this is about 20 min. per pound, but I'm not sure.) Try to not overcook (I did slightly) or fish will be dry. Add salt and pepper when done. I have read a lot of other recipes similar to this which call for various stuffings, etc. I have not tried them, but would be interested in hearing from those who have. I decided to take the 'simple is best' approach for this try.
