id say the one fish weighs just under half a pound (maybe.45)
im cooking it whole on a gas grill
im thinking of some olive oil, rock salt and pepper, squeeze of lime juice
what are keys to cooking a whole small fish on the grill?
what heat should i cook it at? (low or medium, or somewhere in between)
Answers:
I would butterfly fillet the fish, soak it in some teriyaki marinade then grill it on hot heat so that it sears the meat a little.
Or you could rub it with olive oil and miso powder.
Can you tell me where you fish? I might be moving there next year.
I thought it was illegal to fish in Hawaii or do you fish from a boat?
(Edit) Okay cool. Yeah I thought it was illegal because the state wanted to keep the beaches clean for the tourists and stuff. It's cool if you don't want to tell me where you fish. I wouldn't want hordes of people horning in on my sweet spot. Besides, you're only on an island surrounded by water so how hard could it be to find a fish? LOL.
Medium heat at most and turn only once to prevent it falling apart. You can also wrap the fish loosely in an aluminum foil packet; it keeps the moisture in and makes it easier to turn.
Your seasonings sound good.
I've mainly cooked salmon and trout on the grill but the principle should be the same.
