Newspaper Fish

I got this idea from the Naked Chef, but it really does work.

Take whole fish (any kind), gut and scale. Spread out a double thickness of broadsheet (or tabloid if small, but try to avoid the colour printing), spread over a layer of fennel tops, lemon slices and garlic etc. Put a fish on top, put the stuff in the cavity & season and cover with fennel tops etc). Pour over extra virgin olive oil, s&p. Wrap up like fish and chips in a nice parcel. Then dunk the whole thing in water until the paper is quite soggy. Place on a hot barbecue and cook for 20-40 mins depending on the size of the fish. Unwrap and guzzle. Also good for picnics, as you can burn all the debris in the left over fire and you don't need to take it all home.
