Grilled Whole Fish

But fish is easy to cook, especially whole baked fish, It will impress your friends and family to bring out a whole baked fish and it is so wonderful you don’t need elaborate recipes.

How to Know if Fish is Fresh
1. It shouldn’t smell. Fresh fish smells fresh like the ocean, if it smells like it’s “fishy” it’s been hanging around for too long.
2. Bright, plump, clear. Stay away from fish with cloudy eyes – it’s a sure sign of aging.
3. Shiny, firm skin that bounces back when you touch it. If it’s spongy and doesn’t bounce back it’s old.
