  • 4 sm Red Mullet, gutted, scales

seasoning.

2. Rub the outsides of the fish with oil, sprinkle with seasoning, then
wrap in vine leaves (or foil) to cover completely. Leave in a cool place.

3. Lightly oil the barbecue grid. Cook small fish on it for about 5 minutes
each side; seabass take 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the
leaves are charred and the fish feels firm when pressed. When it's cooked,
the skin will peel away with the charred leaves and the flesh will be firm
and opaque.
