Grilling fish is a busy and very hard job. From the moment the charcoal fire is red hot, the fish griller continuously sits next to the charcoal stove, enduring the scorching heat to turn and pick up the fish. The important thing is to watch carefully so that the fish is cooked evenly and does not burn. Photo: Manh Hung |
