Wash the fresh herbs and roughly chop them along with the garlic. Mix with the olive oil and set aside. Halve the lemon slices. Season the gutted fish inside and out with salt, pepper, and fish seasoning. Pour the herb, garlic, and olive oil mixture into the belly of the fish, add the lemon slices, and secure with wooden skewers. Oil the grill grate well and grill the fish for about 40 minutes over indirect heat (approx. 180-200°C). Turn the fish over after about 20 minutes. Finally, fry the skin on each side over direct heat for about 2 minutes until crispy. Optional: After about 20 minutes of grilling, place soaked smoking sticks in the grill.
