Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Rub the scored surface of the fish with oil, lime, and salt.
  2. Make the stuffing by combining the crushed crackers, thyme, hot chili, scallions, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Fill the cavity of the fish with the stuffing, and using a toothpick or metal skewer, secure the opening by weaving skewer to close fish. You can also stick toothpicks into the bottom of the fish at 2-inch intervals to secure.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and place on grill grate. Cook for 15–18 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and crusted on the outside.
