Fish tacos can be done plenty of different ways, and this red snapper version doesn't disappoint. Char-Griller ambassador, James Llorens of Certified Creole BBQ, shares his Fish N' Bone Roasted Caribbean Red Snapper recipe for fish tacos.

    Score the red snapper on an angle to the bone 2-3 times on each side depending on the size of the fish. This allows seasonings to go into the fish and helps during the cooking process.
