That fish really does look good. I've been wanting to try laker over the fire, and that grill looks both light weigh and inexpensive - a great combo.

I just posted this on the Quetico forum, sharing here. Lake trout two ways, Cajun spice and teriyaki (both great, teriyaki probably the favorite), over cedar fire, Argo Lake, early June, 2018. The 10" x 15" grill fits down the front of the food pack. Sometimes you can find them at hardware stores or Walmart.

Springer2,
Tell me about your recipes for Cajun and Teriyaki Lakers?
Do you just sprinkle Cajun Spice on the laker and grill till done?
Sprinkle spice on a laker and then Teriyaki Sauce 5 min before done ?

We spend a lot of time finding , splitting and drying good wood first, preferably cedar. We will even carry the wood with us, wrapped in a poncho or in a bag until we have fresh fish and the weather is decent for a fire. It takes a lot of cedar or beaver wood to make a bed of coals hot enough to cook the filets. While the fire is burning down I wipe the filets dry with a paper towel and coat them with olive oil (I have a refillable pump sprayer). Then I coat them either with a Cajun spice rub or lemon pepper (both very good on trout), or I marinate the filets in teriyaki sauce for 15 minutes or so--I like "Soy Vey" brand teriyaki sauce. I also oil the grill, then, typically, with the fish pretty close to the coals I grill them for about 6 minutes per inch, starting with the skin side up, then flipping halfway through. This is heresy but I also prefer grilled bass and walleye to frying them. If you can't do a fire and have to use a stove a fresh filet of anything is awful good just seasoned with salt and pepper and fried in butter. Remove the cooked fish, add more butter and some lemon juice to the pan, cook for a couple minutes to reduce and pour the sauce over the filets.
