Whole Grilled, Marinated Red Snapper

My favorite fish hands down. Went offshore fishing in the Bahamas and caught lots of Baracuda.  Turns out they are trash to eat but great bait for Red Snapper.  The first mate told me they use the Barracuda to fish for Red Snapper up to a 1/2 mile deep?  Wowwww.

Nice!  This was tasty.

@bgebrent- I suggest you get out (or continue to pound) some fine bourbon as this B'ball game is going down hill and accelerating.  May be a rough night given the earlier outcome.  There's always tomorrow and more of your team banquet groceries to crank out.  But it's not over-
Now, if baseball then everyone gets 27 outs-here the clock is the final driver.  MLB Spring Training report dates are next week.

Paging @bgebrent .  You just need to put yesterday behind you.  There's bound to be a Calipari tweak right around the corner.

Saw on an episode of DDD Friday night that the throat meat on the red snapper is the best meat on the fish. Apparently it is fattier.  Most people just take the fillets and discard the head and that is a mistake. Easy to disect on a large fish, tough to do on a small but if cooking whole, have at it.

Very nice plate, indeed. All of it. 

What IT did you pull it off at? Have not egged whole fish much.

IT of 155.  When cooking whole fish I just monitor the flesh by the bone through the slits to get opaque.  I don't always use the thermapen.  Thanks bro.

Outstanding once again.

Great job.  Love snapper.  I have yet to try grilling the whole fish, but it's on my list of things to do.  (Damn list keeps getting longer instead of shorter)

You and N make a good culinary team.  Nice cook Brent!!

My wife makes a mean bowl of cereal 

My wife would burn cereal....Now, if you asked her to bake a pound cake or cookies you would be impressed, as I am each time!

if your a good cook, then your probably not a good baker...if your a good baker, your probably not a good cook..

Unless your a grandmother...grandmothers can cook and bake..

Wow, looks really good. Snapper looks real fresh.

Thanks brother.  We have market here in town that gets crazy good variety of fresh fish.

Which market are you referring to might I ask? Also - killer job on dinner!

Buford Highway Farmers Market.  It's an amazing place.  The fish market section is excellent.  You definitely should check it out.  It's less crowded on weekdays.fence0407 said:

Its coming up on Snapper season here soon, I have to give this a try. Wouldn't have thought to cook one direct over the grate. Looks really good.
