Are you tried of turkey and ham this festival season?

Problem solved.
Fire up the BBQ. (In Europe the heat will melt the snow of the top of it).
While it is warming up, nip down to the local market and find your favourite fish monger and buy a freshwater fish that is shaped like a red snapper as against the shape of a trout. Have the fish cleaned but have the fish monger leave the head and tail on.
Also at the local market, on the way back buy a stick of lemongrass, some kaffir-lime leaves and a spray of mint.
Back home, stuff the greens inside the fish and sprinkle well both sides of the fish with salt. Otherwise this freshwater fish that is shaped like a red snapper smells badly while cooking.
The BBQ is now well and truly hot. Place the fish on the grill. Turn over when the first side is well burnt.
When both side are chard. Place on a serving dish, scrape away skin and dig in. It is yummie.
Somehow the greens keep the white flesh moist and tender and not at all dried out as you would expect from grilling it, even just under the skin.
My wife does not know the name of this freshwater fish, maybe you can!
