Cooking fish on the barbecue can be tremendously rewarding, and is a little more special than simply grilling . Served whole or in fillets, there are a range of different fish that suit the smoky, robust flavour that comes from barbecuing - in fact, if you take care over cooking, practically any fish can be cooked in this way.
Because of the wide range of fish available, there are a few considerations to take. The barbecue you use will have an impact - if using a barbecue with wide-set grill bars, cooking small, delicate fish fillets will be very tricky indeed, unless you wrap them in foil or place them in a fish basket. A finer mesh-type grill will make it easier to cook fish fillets, but always remember only cook fish on a very high heat and oil the fish prior to cooking so that the skin doesn’t tear. Cleaning the grill rack before cooking will also help prevent sticking.
