“I fill the fish belly with, for example, thyme and lemon slices. I use a simple marinade for fish, I mix a clove of garlic, sprigs of thyme, parsley, salt, pepper and a little lemon juice. To improve the taste, rub the fish with marinade both before grilling and after removing it from the grill,” advises chef Hynek Vávra for a very easy recipe.
