Wrap the Fish in Foil

Take a big piece of foil. Place the fish in the center. Add some butter or oil on the fish. Wrap the foil tightly around the fish. This keeps the fish moist while cooking.

Cook the Fish

Now, let’s cook the fish. You can use a grill or a campfire. Place the foil-wrapped fish on the grill or near the campfire. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Turn the fish halfway through.

Check If the Fish Is Done

To check if the fish is done, open the foil carefully. The fish should be white and flaky. If it is still pink, cook for a few more minutes. Be careful. The foil will be hot.
