Hi Everyone and Happy Friday to you. Where has the time gone? May is nearly over!

Today's recipe looks like something I'd like to try...not too sure about cooking fish with the head and tail on, but hubby does the barbecuing anyways so I wouldn't be looking at it until he takes the head off! Enjoy!

Herbed Bacon-Wrapped Fish

4-1 lb. cleaned whole fish
salt and pepper
1 cup fresh herbs, like thyme, tarragon -- marjoram, etc. (whatever you may have on hand)
1 tablespoon olive oil
bacon strips to wrap fish

Rinse fish and pat dry. Season to taste inside and out. Place fresh herbs inside cavity of fish then lightly oil both sides of fish.

Wrap fish loosely with bacon strips leaving head and tail exposed.

Set fish in center of cooking grate and cover grill. Cook about 15 minutes.

Turn once during cooking. Remove from grill. Peel off top layer of skin and remove head. Slide fish onto platter.

To serve slide a wide metal spatula between flesh and bones, and lift out each portion.
