I did some Greek style with some of the big ones I caught in Mass last month and they came out great if you like whole fish. I took off the head and guts with one knifechop and trimmed the fins. Then I slathered in Olive oil and rubbed down with a little salt and pepper. I did not remove the scales.

Then I just put on a very hot grill for a few minutes per side. The scales form a charred layer or fall off. Pick off the bones and squeeze some fresh lemon. Yum.
