I love talapia. That is an excellent one, and just about the only fish I eat. I have to fry it to make it taste good, though. I'm looking for fish that's good on the grill(watching my fat intake), tastes good, and with not a lot of bones. Thanks.

Also, does anybody know the technique for using achiote on fish?

Not a lot of people like it, but Northern Pike is so excellent. They are really meaty and very tasty. Plus, the bones are quite big so they are very easy to take out during or before eating. Bon appetite.

This recipe calls for a whole fish. If you haven't grilled a whole fish yet, it isn't as difficult as it might sound. This is the traditional Mexican method for grilling snapper.
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole red snapper, split and butterflied (about 2 pounds worth)
1/2 cup achiote paste
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
PREPARATION:
Mix achiote paste (you should be able to find it in a Mexican market) with citrus juices. Cover all surface of the fish. Place in refrigerator and let sit for at least two hours. Light grill and get a medium flame.
Oil grill and place fish skin side down. When fish is about half way done (about 5 minutes) turn and continue cooking another 3 minutes. The fish is done when the juices start boiling. You should be able to lift the central bone out easily when the fish is cooked. Top with heated salsa.
The traditional Mexican way to cook fish is to place it on a banana leaf. If you can find them, wash the leaf and place on grill while it's still wet. Then add the fish. This is an old trick to keep the fish from sticking to the grill and falling apart when you try to turn it.

Mahi Mahi and Salmon are excellent for grilling, but you mentioned you love Talapia. You might also want to try Orange Roughee. It is a white, flaky fish with a mild taste that would be good for grilling. I broiled it and it turned out good.

Salmon, Tuna and swordfish are some of the stronger fish types that will hold up well to grilling.

Any of the denser whitefish are good, salmon does well on the girll. Also whole fish of any type can be done on the grill. I would not try to grill any type of filet, such as catfish or sole.
