Red Snapper & Mediterranean Sea Bass (Branzino)

I don't mind fish, but I'm not a huge fish eater. More of a steak and potato kind of guy.
We've been trying different cooks for a party next weekend. Todays cook was a whole Red Snapper and whole Mediterranean Sea Bass (Branzino).
The fish was stuff with butter, fresh herbs (thyme, sage, rosemary, dill, garlic) and some lemon. I rolled the fish in some banana leaves and cooked at 350 for about 15 minutes.
We all thought the fish was great - the sea bass very mild very few bones, the red snapper had more flavour and a lot of bones.
We've decided that this will be great for a small dinner party but (in our case) not very appropriate for a large party.
Thanks for watching..

Looks good! Good idea with the banana leaves... almost like "en papillote"!
-
That looks wonderful!
-
Banana leaves a great idea, I have done same thing with cabbage leaves. Bones-have you thought about filleting?
-
That's a cool way to cook a fish, in a banana leaf jacket. Nice!
-
We were thinking about displaying the whole fish on banana leaves for our party.
We're a little concerned about alcohol and the bones not mixing too well
Filleting would be great but we'd lose the effect.
I'm sure we'll do it in the future in a more controlled environment.

It was great because it kept the fish together so you didn't have to worry about the skin sticking to the grill, etc. And it was much easier to pick everything off the grill in one piece.
I'd do it again.
