GRILLED WHOLE FISH
Cooking small whole fish, as opposed to fillets, optimizes flavor and juiciness, because the skin and a thin layer of (healthy) fat insulate the meat -- and it couldn't be easier. Mild, white-fleshed branzino is almost tailor-made for the technique: It has relatively few bones and they're simple to remove, so the fish is very easy to serve and eat.

Steps:
- Preheat grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, drizzle cavity of each fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Aromatics help keep whole fish moist while grilling. Stuff 1 fish cavity with lemon slices and dill and the other with lime slices, basil, and Thai chiles. If using just 1 filling, double amounts called for.
- Fasten each opening with a wooden skewer or toothpicks that have been soaked in water so they don't burn. This keeps the aromatics inside and also makes fish easier to handle on the grill.
- Using a paring knife, make long, 1/4-inch-deep diagonal slashes at 2-inch intervals on both sides of fish so they cook evenly throughout. This also allows any seasonings on skin (see step 5) to penetrate.
- Rub both sides of each fish with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper, working all into slashes as well as heads and tails -- both are edible, and the tail becomes delightfully crisp when grilled.
- Brush hot grill with vegetable oil; immediately place fish on grill. Cook, undisturbed and uncovered, until undersides are charred and flesh along gills on undersides turns opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Turn fish with 2 large spatulas. If they stick, wait a few seconds until skin sears enough to release cleanly. Grill on other side until charred and fish are just cooked through and opaque, 5 to 7 minutes more.
- Serve fish with lemon and lime wedges and more herbs. To serve, cut fillet free from top side of fish and remove with a spatula. Remove bones to free other fillet.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill to medium heat
- Wash your whole catfish or catfish fillet. The good thing about a fillet is that you don't have to worry about bones and internal organs. Plus, if you like a headless fish then the fillet is a good option for you.
- If you're not grilling a fillet then cut the belly of your catfish to remove its internal organs. Rinse thoroughly until it's neat.
- Pat it dry
- Now mix your black pepper with fresh pepper, your powder ginger and garlic, salt to taste and seasoning cubes
- Catfish is pretty fatty but if you don't mind, you can brush some oil on it
- Now, press your mixed ingredients on the catfish, making sure it spreads evenly
- Leave it to marinate for 5 minutes
- Place it on the grill and let it cook on each side for 5 minutes if it's fillet. If it's a whole catfish, let it grill on each side for 10 minutes. But before putting off the grill, make sure the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve and garnish with rings of onions
