When grilling fish, something simple like a surprising spice can totally transform it, easily making less a lot more. Frank Strauss, a personal chef in Alpharetta, sent in his recipe for a very tasty fish dish he calls Island-style Red Snapper. While an olive oil, citrus (in this case, lime) and garlic marinade is familiar enough, the addition of ground allspice gives the dish an unexpected twist. Grilling snapper can be a little tricky. Although quite delicious, it’s a flaky fish that can be delicate on the grill, so use care when turning it and keep movement to a minimum. You can also buy a larger piece and divide it after cooking.
