Grill to Perfection: Place the basket on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crisp and the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and fish. (10-14 minutes)

Serve: Remove the basket from the grill. Carefully open the basket and transfer the Surf and Turf to a serving platter. Serve immediately and enjoy!
For best results, use thick-cut bacon to prevent it from burning too quickly.
If you don't have a fish basket, you can use a grill basket lined with aluminum foil. Be sure to poke holes in the foil for drainage.
Feel free to experiment with different types of fish, such as grouper, mahi-mahi, or cod.
Add a touch of spice by including a pinch of red pepper flakes with the onion layers.
Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
