I plan to cook four whole snapper or sea bass indirect, 6 inches above regular grate. 425* for 15 minutes or so. Anyone have good experience with spices to fill cavity or rub on skin. Searched forum but didn't find anything interesting.

    Here is one I posted a few days ago.

    Clean and scale the fish very well.
    Season the inside and outside with a little salt and pepper or your best seafood seasoning and fill with a little mango salsa.
    Cook either high, raised grid or indirect at about 350.
    I have also sandwiched between a folded cheap mesh throw away grid. Makes it easy to flip if you want.
    Can also cut some slices in the fish and brush with butter.
    As long as you don't over cook it it's hard to go wrong.

    Mike,
    I recently had a whole redfish cooked at a Lebanese restaurant ( in a wood-fired brick oven) that was great. She had whole garlic cloves and sliced lemons in the cavity and the gills. She also put gashes in the meat on the top side, placing sliced garlic and lemons in those cuts. She covered the whole thing, inside and out, with chopped, fresh cilantro. It was fantastic!
