The best grilled fish I’ve had was in Sydney, Australia at an upscale restaurant on the harbor. It was a beautiful September evening in 2012 and I was enjoying a low-key dinner with my cousin and his beautiful wife. I can’t remember the name of the restaurant, but it was on a docking strip with a couple other outdoor restaurants. Not only was the weather amazing (September there is really like early spring to us), but the food was amazing. It also happened to be that I had the best oysters of my life there as well.
Back to the grilled fish, my cousin recommended the grilled Barramundi, an Asian sea bass. I had never heard of Barramundi before, but I was assured it would be delicious. The Barramundi did not disappoint. Served whole on a large plate, it looked and tasted good. Since then, I’ve been craving grilled whole fish on and off, but haven’t had the courage to try it out at home, until recently.
