Question: What's a good fish to grill whole? Not too big, not too expensive?

Since next week is supposed to be warm enough, I wanted to grill. I've always wanted to grill a whole fish and wanted to know what's a good fish to grill whole. I like milder, somewhat firm fish like cod or halibut (don't really like the mushy texture of flounder). What would be a good fish to grill that's not too big (I am the only one in the family that really likes fish), not too expensive (in case I completely mess it up), and mild tasting. Thanks.

Rainbow Trout is good with some Rosemary inside and Lemon on top?

grilled Salmon
* 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
* lemon pepper to taste
* garlic powder to taste
* salt to taste
* 1/3 cup soy sauce
* 1/3 cup brown sugar
* 1/3 cup water
* 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions
1. Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
2. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag with the soy sauce mixture, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Preheat grill for medium heat.
4. Lightly oil grill grate. Place salmon on the preheated grill, and discard marinade. Cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

You will have to see what is available whole, most of the fish are far too large for for just one person.

I would suggest a Mackerel or even trout if they aren't too large.
My preference would be a sole or flounder, they shouldn't go mushy grilled if they aren't over cooked.
I would make a tinfoil pocket seasoned to taste and throw on a medium hot grill for about 3 minutes each side.

Trout would be the best choice to rill as whole fish
