Step 1
Your fish monger may offer to clean your fish for you - if so take them up on this offer. Have your fish packed in ice to keep it the freshest.
Step 2
Before you prepare your
Fish (1)
for the grill, make sure that they are perfectly clean - use the back of a paring knife and run it along the skin in the direction from the tail toward the head, to ensure there are no more scales on the skin.
Step 3
Once you have removed any remaining scales, check the inside of the fish and make sure it is perfectly clean, with no innards remaining.
Step 4
Give the fish a nice rinse under cold water and drain well before placing on a paper towel lined plate to dry - gently pat inside outside of fish with a paper towel to dry off before moving on.
Step 5
Cut three pieces of cooking twine in about 10-12" lengths and lay these about 2-3" apart on a work surface.
Step 6
Lay your
Fig Leaves (3)
down on top of the cooking twine on your work surface, overlapping the leaves as needed to ensure full coverage.
Step 7
Salt the fish inside and out with
Sea Salt Flakes (to taste)
.
Step 8
Wrap the fish with the fig leaves, securing with the cooking twine, one section at a time until the fish is fully wrapped.
Step 9
Heat a gas grill over medium heat for about 10 minutes and then add the fish and
Lemon (1/2)
halves to the grill.
Step 10
Close the lid and grill fish for 5-7 minutes, turn fish and grill the other side for 5-7 minutes.
Step 11
Remove fish and lemon halves from the grill and serve each fish with a lemon half. Serve and enjoy.
