I I use long needle nose pliers as a hemostat is not as effective or
strong
as a realease and I do cut the barb because I would never eat one of
these?
They are fun and ugly

Hey Fred,

Gut a 4 - 6 lber. "fill" the belly with onions, fresh garlic and hot
peppers, salt, pepper or seasoning that you like. Completely cover in tin
foil and throw it on the propane BBQ. Once cooked, work around the bones,
you won't be disappointed.

You might want to cut the head off before cooking, they are kind of ugly...

FWIW, that will work on just about any fish, esp. firm white fish...and for
those that don't wish the hot peppers, some red, yellow, or green "bell" peppers
will work, with the red being, IMO, the best (we use both hot and mild). Also,
a few slices of lemon or lime are good, too, and an oven or a _carefully_
controlled charcoal grill work well, too (again, just our fav, but grill/smoker
is the best if you know how to control the heat).

TC,
