Grilled Whole Fish with Roasted Tomato-Chile SauceMark Thomas

Pescado Zarandeado

Although you can broil the fish, it is at its best when cooked outside (placing the fish in a grill basket makes it easier to turn over on the barbecue). Ask the fishmonger to remove the head and scales and to clean and butterfly the fish.
