I went to my local fish store yesterday and they had some flounder that had just come out of the water.

I added salt and pepper to both side, oiled the skin side very well with canola oil, and put them directly on the grate, skin side down.

I cooked them direct (and not raised) with the bottom vent open about an inch and a half and only the holes of the daisy wheel open. I haven't fixed my thermometer issue yet, so I don't have an exact temp.

This is about halfway -- you can see the color changing:

Once the fish was opaque and flaking, I removed them.

They were falling apart:

I made a quick caper/shallot/dill butter sauce for the top -- sorry, no pictures of the final plate. It was really good, and I enjoyed the slight smokiness.
Next time I'll coat the grate as well as the skin of the fish.

Sorry for the cruddy pictures -- I used my point and shoot because it was closer. I won't be so lazy next time. ;)

I'm Kristi -- I've been cooking on a BGE since 2003.
