I think the trick is to make sure the grates are very hot, but the fire is only medium. I let the kettle come up to temperature and then cooked the fish direct over the coals with the lid on which kept the fire under control. I also made sure the grates were really clean and then well oiled as was the fish.

Lunch today at Orens Hummus in Palo Alto. Its really nice part of University Ave is closed off for outdoor dining. Too full for Salt & Straw across the street. 😭 But I had a nice not too sweet bottled coffee at IKEA a couple hours later.

Back in the 1970s, my grandpa, when he was a working man, walked a block once a week to have a steak lunch at The Burger Pit. It’s no longer there, the building has actually been razed. A couple years ago, I heard there was a BP in San Jose. After a day at the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara and some shopping at the Asian grocery store, my dad and I stopped in south SJ to have a very late lunch on our way home. Two ribeye steak sandwiches and fries, plus a shared side salad for $25. The restaurant looked and smelled just like old times. 🥰

I like the baskets. For the last couple years Ive used mats. Theyre not as good with whole fish but a little better with fish filets and steaks. Probably half my grilling is fish so Im always looking for something to make that job easier to do and clean up after.
