A fish basket is great, but if you don't have one you can just make a reflective oven with tin foil and a decent wood fire. Butter and/or oil. salt and pepper, and if you have lemon-pepper even better. I like garlic salt.but whatever you like on fish toss it on. It cooks fairly fast if you wait until the coals are good, gets some of the woods taste........some tomatoes and potatoes.......I can smell it.
