  5. When you are ready to grill, wipe down the fish grill basket with oil towel and them immediately lay the fish down in the fish casket. Let them grill for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
  6. Reduce to medium high, and then lower the BBQ grill hood.
  7. Alternatively, leave the fish over the open hot charcoal.

  9. Let the fish cook for a total of 3 to 4 minutes on each side, you may have to add a minute on two depending on the thickness of your fish until cooked - when fish is white and the juices must run clear.
