Last year when campin @ Fraser, I caught a nice Tailor and all I did was kept him whole, spread him both sides with butter layed him in alfoil and on both top & bottom, layed sliced lemon, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced capsicum/onion/zuccini
/celery & grushed garlic and baked him over hot coals. We ate with our fingers as it was well and truly a meal in one & let me say, IT WAS BLOODY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Only just found this post but fishergirl has it exactly right. Throw some soy sauce and sweet chilli in aswell. It goes off. Id rate it as my favourite meal in the world. Just be sure to pick away the dark blood line before you dig in.
Cheers

Don't mean to live in the past but I nailed a 5kg tailor at narrowneck in sept
had to fold the badboy to get him in the esky!
anyhu moral of the story

baked whole tailor muchos butter and cracked pepper. +LBT and onion salt
made transverse incisions with slices of lime in them
chopped up an onion and a tomato and put them inside the belly
wrapped in baking paper and alfoil. throw in some spuds
Thid monster took an age to cook!

when it comes out, put in some pears cut into eighths with cinnamon and sugar on them
Brownie points ++ (and hunter-gatherer appeal!)
Nailed it [smiley=smash.gif]


McKenzies (?) makes a spice called Lemon, Basil and Thyme -its good on fish - not too much
onion salt is always welcome
