Grilled sea bass
Description
Preparing sea bass on the grill doesn't take much time or effort. For this recipe, I use Black Sea smarida. This fish is commonly found in markets throughout the Crimean region, as well as along the Bulgarian coast. Smarida, also known as sea bass (blue perch or spotted perch), is a small fish easily recognized by small round dark spots on the sides of its body or blue stripes running along it. Grilled sea bass according to this recipe is very simple to prepare. In fact, you could use river perch as well, but smarida or other sea bass has more tender flesh and a more delicate flavor. Good luck!

Step 6
Then grill the fish over medium heat. You can use any type of grill—electric or charcoal. It's important that the grill grate is dry, and the fish should be placed in a single layer without touching each other. To achieve an attractive result, the fish should not be moved during cooking, so that appetizing grill marks remain on the fish.
