Bacon-Wrapped Sea Bass

Thorsten's Note:

Tasty grilled fish recipe. Combines nicley the flavors of bacon and fish. Can be prepared in advance, quick, easy and delicious. Serve with crusty bread and green salad. I made this recipe for me and a friend. We only have grilled fish, bread, salad and some white wine and beer. Each of us had one fish. Who needs more on a warm and sunny summer afternoon? It became one of my favorite grilled fish recipes.
