Advice

Super-dry skin + oiled, hot grates = no sticking. After placing the fish, don’t touch it until it releases naturally—then flip once.

Why it works

Shallow scoring seasons the flesh and renders skin fat for crispness; paprika blooms in the oil for a gentle sweetness; lemon juice at the end brightens without dulling the grill aromas.

Twist

Stuff the cavity with a thin slice of lemon and a sprig of parsley or thyme; or swap paprika for a pinch of ground cumin for a subtle, Bosnian-Ottoman echo.

Status

River-fresh, lemon-bright, skin-crisp—Bosnian pastrmka na žaru done right. #grannyzen #bosnianriverfish
