I brought this home from my recent trip to the beach...
I had never tried grilling a whole red snapper before, I used the Hasty Bake grill.

The fish was cleaned and they scaled it for me. I removed the fins...

seasoned with sea salt, lemon pepper, drizzled with olive oil and stuffed with lemon slices and fresh thyme.

the missing eye didn't bother me...

I tried a slice of lemon..

the cherry tomato looked worse than no eye...

so I settled on a Pirate's patch made from a grilled leek.

Looks REAL nice Jeanie! I think your "disguises" just draws more attention to the head... lol :wink:
 
miss jeanie .... your food looks wonderful! How do you manage to put so much fun and talent into your cooking? You really have a special talent. Thanks so much for sharing it with us again.
BTW, I loved the 'eye' game you played. But I think I might have tried an pimento filled olive for that popeyed look!

Great lookin' grub!

lol Phrasty, I think you are right, probably should have just served it as it was. :becky: Thanks!
 
I've never had red snapper but would love to try it, especially on the grill. It looks great...and I loved your several attempts at making the missing eye look better! I got a great laugh out of that! :becky:
