Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for five minutes. Add the tomatoes, chives, parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook for five minutes longer.

  2. Step 2

    Stuff the fish with the mixture and roughly sew the cavity shut with a large needle and white cotton string. Rub the outside of the fish with oil and place it on a clean, well-oiled grill over moderately hot flames. Pull down the cover of the grill, or cover the fish with foil.

  3. Step 3

    After about 10 minutes, gently turn the fish and grill on the other side just until the fish is firm to the touch, about 10 minutes. Remove to a large platter and garnish with lemon wedges and bunches of parsley and dill.
