OK so inspired by Mullet a la Podge, here's a similar sort of recipe for bass ( the example I shot being a 5lb-er 
) which I did in foil on the barbie, but which could also be done in the oven:
Cover all over with olive oil / Guernsey butter ( sorry, you can only get it in Guernsey!) lime/lemon juice, salt, pepper. Wipe hands, slurp wine ( a Muscadet sur lie goes well). Fill body cavity with your choice of: tarragon ( fresh if poss) parsley ( also) a few cloves of garlic, seal with butter. Wipe hands again, shlurp wine. Take a piece of aluminium foil ( Americans note - nothing like alu-minum ) big enough to cover fish, realise after wrapping diagonally it won't cover ( not a 5lb one anyway) .
Wipe hands again, shluurrppwine, get another piece, seal up foil all around, place in pre-heated barbie heated to around the centre of the sun, alternatively about 200 deg c will do. Go to turn once after 15 mins, realise you've got nothing to turn it with properly, find spray for 3rd degree burns. Shhhlllluurrpppp wine for pain relief. Find fish slice, welding tongs etc, turn over for another 15 mins. Tell wife ready to serve, when she says, oh what about the veg and potatoes? keep warm still in foil. Find another bottle of wine.
Alternative flavourings could be: ginger, chili , pastis ( bit of an off the wall one) fennel. Our version was served with rosti potatoes made by visiting Swiss guests, which actually went quite well.
