A great easy way to cook snapper on the BBQ , which tastes great and looks impressive when served.
Score it around the edges and cut crosses into the fish. Rub the outside with something like garlic salt and then scrunch up a ball of foil and push it into the cavity. Fold a piece of foil in half lengthways, spread the fins and sit the fish upright on the foil. The foil prevents the fish from burning on the direct heat. Fold the end of the foil around the head to keep it stable and the tail to keep it upright. I cooked it for about 40 minutes at 120 - 160* which was 3 burners on low and the hood down.

Re: Vertically cooked Snapper
Pretty tasty and convenient way to cook a snapper, had one like that flash fried in a Thai restaurant near Noosa a little while ago.
Great idea... supporting it with foil and with the size of the fish I've been catching they'd easily fit in the BabyQ Weber.
