Grill, brushing continuously with the basting sauce, until the skin on the first side is dark and crisp and the flesh is cooked through to the bone on that side, 6 to 10 minutes. Turn each fish carefully with a long spatula and cook on the second side, brushing continuously again with the sauce, until the flesh breaks into firm flakes when pressed with a finger, another 6 to 10 minutes.6. Using the spatula, carefully transfer the fish to a platter. Bring them to the table, then fillet (if desired) and serve immediately.Serves 4
