weird but good way of cooking fresh king george

[Sealdiver]

this is an mad recipe,
But you probably have to be from western Australia to understand me
1. Few good size king george whiting
2. big fig leaves
3. a good lemon
4. Butter and olive oil

Remove the stalk from the leaves by cutting a v shape in the end and oil the leaves well. clean and scale the fish and but a little bit of butter in the cavity. Put the fish on the leaves and give them a good squeeze of lemon. roll them each up in a leaf, doesn't matter if the head and tail are sticking out a bit. Put them on a hot charcoal grill of a bbq grill
unrap, enjoy and celebrate in this beautiful aussie fish.
peace, sealdiver

Nothing weird about that! Some do it with banana leaves, some do it with fig etc.

yeah i know, banana leaves are used pretty extensively. Fig leaves on the bbq are awesone, they keep the KGS moist as and they get a bit of a smokey flavour, cant forget this one.

Thanks Sealdiver, I'll stick to Alfoil. Do you eat the figleaf or give it back to Adam when you've finished?

 

[Sealdiver]
