  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 1 hr 5 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onion
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos
  • 1 whole drawn whitefish, 2 1/2 to 3 pounds
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • Lemon wedge, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Lightly brush hinged wire grill basket with vegetable oil.
  • 2
    Mix all ingredients except fish, butter and lemon. Stuff fish with rice mixture. Fasten opening with skewers; lace with string. Place fish in basket.
  • 3
    Grill uncovered 5 inches from medium heat 50 minutes, brushing frequently with butter and turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining butter. Garnish with lemon wedges.

  • When selecting fresh fish, there should be no odor, the flesh should be firm and elastic, the scales should be bright with a sheen, the gills should be reddish pink and the eyes bright, clear and bulging.
  • Trout or another moderate-flavor fish would work well in place of the whitefish. Don’t hesitate to ask for suggestions at your local market.
