Cherryo; when making marinades with acid and used for fish…you have to be careful that you don’t overdo it or the acid such as balsamic vinegar will cook the fish…a few hours will suffice. May i suggest grilling/barbecuing the fish fillet and just use a reduction of balsamic vinegr with honey (to suit your taste) with a splash of olive oil to finish it off as a glaze?

I always have banana leaves available (kept in the freezer) for use in grilling, wrapping or lining. Its a lot less expensive than parchment paper and I think safer than tin foil. This Christmas I wrapped the rellenong manok which I gave away as presents in banana leaves before wrapping them in tin foil. It made it look more native and “green”. I wish a product from the Phil. can be made out of banana leaves to take the place of tin foil. With the current rage of going green this will be a hit. UP Los Banos folks are you listening/reading?

Yummmm! This is the best way to eat fish & seafood – fresh off the sea, simply grilled – no fuus, no muss.
BTW – MM – Reynolds Aluminum has a product that’s been out in the market for a while – maybe 3 years – a non-stick Quick-Release (on one side) foil. I love this foil. I throw it over the grill – poke a few holes & anything you put on it just slides out easily when done. Of course, I use it in the oven for roasting & grilling, too. I line the pan with a heavy duty foil (to minimize clean-up) & then I put a layer of the Quick-Release foil on top of it. The Q-R only comes in 12″ width. I can’t remember the price per foot or per roll – but I believe not much more than the heavy duty foil. Worth the added convenience!
