Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for easy fish grilling, this convenient basket features heavy-gauge metal construction with a black nonstick coating to ensure effortless food release. The handy tool eliminates the hassle of fish falling apart on the grill or tearing when it's time to turn it over. To use, simply place fish in the two-piece basket, along with slices of lemon, herbs, or other seasonings, then latch the basket together and attach the handle. The 14-inch rosewood handle stays cool longer and keeps hands safe from the heat, plus it detaches, making it possible to close the barbeque lid for smoking the fish slowly or preventing flare-ups. The handle can then be reattached for removing food from the grill. When finished, the basket cleans up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher. The fish-grilling basket measures 6 by 20 by 2-3/8 inches.

Product Description

The Charcoal Companion Ultimate Fish Basket has a detachable rosewood handle which allows you to close the grill lid and smoke foods slowly or to stop a flare-up. The 20-inch by 8-inch fish-shape basket is made of heavy gauge metal with black non-stick finish. Two-piece basket latches together to hold fish firmly in place and allows one flip to turn. The rosewood handle stays cool longer and keeps hands away from the heat. The non-stick coated basket is dishwasher safe.

Charcoal Companion Ultimate Nonstick Fish-Grilling Basket

I bought this some time ago, but just used it for the first time today. I cooked a salmon fillet which was probably not ideal, but heck, it should have worked better than it did. Three gripes: the salmon skin stuck to the wire, the wires are rather far apart, and the basket is hard to open when it is hot. Because of the skin sticking, it took a significant effort to get it clean. I took it at face value the statement on the front of the box that the device had a `Non-stick basket' and didn't coat it before using. Next time I'll spray it with oil before I use it. Because the wires are far apart, one's fish needs to be fairly big. If the skin hadn't stuck, the fillet probably would have fallen through the wires. Finally, as to releasing the baskets clasp, I burned myself opening it. I started with thick dish towel because the clasp is rather narrow. I then put on two oven mitts and struggled opening it almost dumping the fish on the floor.

If you're like me & you PREFER to grill with a whole fish vs. the portioned off cuts then you will LOVE this gadget! Here's the trick - Open the basket. Line the inside with parsely, rosemary & bay leaves. If you want to get 'fancy' you can weave the rosemary & parsely branches/twigs into the grates of the basket. I don't but you certainly can! ;)
Take your fish (like a yummy snapper), rub-a-dub the fishy with garlic, olive oil & parsley (the "holy trinity" of mediterranean cooking) and of course, salt & pepper. Slide your fishy into the herb-decorated basket & cook away!
How fantastic to flip the fish without it ripping & falling apart!!! Happy Grilling!
