Rosemary grilled herring
Grilled whole fish are easy and delicious and a great break from the classic hotdogs and burgers. Herring are an inexpensive fish, making them a great place to start if you’ve never grilled fish before. They’re also small and easy to maneuver around a grill. Some people find these fish a bit fatty, but coating them with lemon and rosemary cuts through those flavors.
