Weber 6471 Original Stainless Steel Fish Basket, Large

Great for Larger Fillets and Small-Medium Whole Fish
I bought this about 3 weeks ago and have used it a few times. I'm very happy with the purchase. My high level summary is this is a great, affordable product that will allow you to execute great, chef quality cooking for your favorite grilled fish recipes.

Let me get my one negative thing out of the way: the clasp that holds the two side of the metal mesh basket together is a little difficult to open when I'm done grilling. I have a Weber Genesis grill that gets anywhere from 400-550 degrees Fahrenheit on the inside, and fumbling with this hot clasp takes a bit of practice when you want to get the fish out and onto a serving platter easily while it's fresh off the grill.

Two recommendations:

1. As Weber recommends, always spray the basket and the food with oil--I forgot to the first time and the trout stuck and was a bit of a mess.

2. Do yourself a favor and get a pair of Aramid or other fire-proof gloves. It makes handling this grilling...
Great product
Most grilling accessories are junk, but this one really does what it is supposed to. Putting fish into the basket and removing it is easy and mess-free. The basket is easy to flip and maneuver on the grill. And best of all, the basket cleans easily in the dishwasher.
