I love to cook whole fish on the barbecue in a grill basket. The basket makes turning the fish much easier.
Ingredients:
1 whole sea bream (per person) gutted and descaled
1 Lemon
bay leaves
1 garlic clove finely sliced
olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Method:
Light the barbecue approximately 30 minutes before you are ready to cook.
Using a speed peeler, remove strips of lemon zest and stuff into the fish cavity along with a couple of slices of garlic and a bay leaf. Season the inside of the cavity with salt and pepper.
Place the fish in a grill basket and barbecue for about 15 minutes turning every 5 minutes. Once cooked dress with a squeeze of lemon and a light drizzle of olive oil.
