Method
Choose any type of fish you like.
Trim the fins using kitchen scissors, and scale using a fish scaler or the back of a knife, working from the tail towards the head.
Cut at an angle into the back of the head on both sides, and then make one cut on the underside. Snap the head away, removing any innards that come with it.
Gut the fish by running the tip of the knife through from the vent to the head, and discard any other innards. Rinse under a gentle running cold tap.
Marinate the fish for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the grill.
Grill the fish well on both sides. During the cooking squeeze some fresh lemon juice over it.
Make sure that the fish is well cooked on both sides.
Remove from grill and put on a serving dish. Pour some olive oil and lemon juice.
You can either serve a salad or else some boiled vegetables as an accompaniment.
