David Ciaravolo 34 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I normally catch and release these fish, but when I'm camping its a different story ;)Firstly I wouldnt bother eating a big one, they grow slow and become fatty, pluss they are the good breeders. 33-40cm is perfect.1. Gut but leave the fish whole, head on. 2. Skin the callop (very important). Lay fish on Aluminium foil.3. Chop 1 bunch continental parsley, thinly slice a lemon.4. Rub fish with some rock salt, and parsely5. Stuff remaining parsely and lemon slices into cavity, place a knob of butter inside or drissle some lemon juice & olive oil over the top.6. Wrap up in foil making sure to seal it well.7. Can cook slowly on the BBQ or even better on the campfire coals. If cooking on coals place the hot coals in a shallow hole and be sure to double wrap the fish in foil. DO NOT PUT FISH IN THE FIRE, it will be TOO HOT!Turn After 5 minutes, wait 5, unwrap and enjoy!!

Luke123 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 yeah pretty much you said it but what i do isskale the fish, and leave the head on and just take the guts out.the stuff it with lemon, butter and some basil and stuff lyk thatthe put lots of salt and peper on the top of the fish, so wen it cooks it soaks into the meat.the last my secret spice =D BUSH SPICES and ps. dont be shy with the bush spices :PAnd the wrap in foil and cook in a fire.
