Jason, Juna reckons the tip is having the bbq on high, & ours hits 500, & this is to sear it & straight away, get the heat into the bone structure. Once you put the fish in, drop it to medium, which is still 300 on ours. She says you are better off under doing it slightly & keeping it foil wrapped, as the heat through the bone structure keeps cooking it, & by keeping the foil on it, retains the moisture. Their is nothing worse than overdone, dry fish.
Mate, this one just melted.
Also, where I scored it deeply through the shoulders & formed a criss cross pattern on it, well, this ended up coming off in perfectly formed pieces, & were the perfect serving size, so I just got the tongs down into the cuts, & these great squares just popped off the bone.
