Grilled Baby Snapper with Lemon & Thyme Butter

Grilled Baby Snapper with Lemon & Thyme Butter

Using tried and tested classic flavours, this whole grilled fish is a mouth-watering treat. we used the Ziegler & Brown Twin Grill but you can replicate this dish on any BBQ. Note: Cooking times vary depending on the size of the fish and the heat of the BBQ. Rather than timing the cook, test the flesh by using a fork. If the fish flakes away, it’s ready.
