BLUEFISH, CHARCOAL GRILLED

Ingredients
• 2 pounds fillets or steaks or 3 pounds dressed bluefish
• 3/4 to 1 cup basting sauce (recipe below)
• 1 basting brush
• 1 charcoal grill
• 30 to 36 charcoal briquets
• 1 hinged wire hand grill, well-greased


Directions
Make fire with charcoal briquets. When coals are white hot, spread evenly over bottom of grill.

Wash and dry fish. Cut fish into serving-size portions and place in well-greased, hinged wire hand grill. Baste fish with sauce and place, skin side down, about 4 inches from moderately hot coals. Cook, baste, and turn fish as follows:
• Fillets or steaks: Cook 5 minutes, baste, turn; Cook 5 minutes, baste, turn; Cook until done, about 15 minutes.
• Dressed: Cook 8 minutes, baste, turn; Cook 8 minutes, baste, turn; Cook until done, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Fish is done when flesh flakes easily when tested with a fork.

NOTE: If fire flames up, remove fish from coals until flames die down, as fire will dry and toughen fish.

Cooking times are approximate: Every fire behaves in a different way, depending on the type of equipment used, wind, air temperature, humidity and fuel. Therefore the cooking times are a guide only.

If seafood becomes dry, baste more frequently.
