What is a good fish basket to buy?

[Robert McGee]

Bill Schultz' recent post on the Mexican style grilled Halibut brings a question to mind. I go "nuts" when someone asks what is the "best" regarding ANY topic. We all know that there is ALWAYS more than one way to "skin the cat". However, having said that, instead of asking for the "Best" fish basket, what is one of the "Better" fish baskets? I presume that a non-stick surface is desirable?

I only want to buy once but I don't necessarily want to buy the most expensive. Think good, but decent value as well (definitely not the "cheapest", tho'). Mentioning why your pick is good might help others, too. This will be used mostly on my 22.5" OTG but could conceivably used on my gasser, too, as well as one of the smokers.

I eagerly await your response, Ladies and Gentlemen...

A bit Beer heavy right now...But clear eyes on the fish is a good sign..Aswell as a glossy skin...Or red geels. Thats some of the freshness signs. Not the the fish: I Love Halibut myself Or salmon...Might be the 2 only fishes i eat. Whats best for you? Thats a hard call.

I want some of that Beer Dan, as far as the basket I just use the inexpensive one I got from Home Depot, works fine but I spray it down with Canola Oil before and after each use.

 

[Wolgast]

My bad Forget that one.

 

[Mike Coffman]

I bought my fish basket from Home Depot also. Works great for fish, chicken or whatever else I can stuff in it.

This is what I use. My wife was given it as a gift, and it's been good for whole fish or multiple filets. Probably cost more than it's worth (like everything from William Sonoma), but i like it.

I thought he was asking about the best way to skin a cat. In that case I'd have to say a Julienne Peeler would work best.

You just need to catch bigger fish, then you don't need a basket This Yellowtail was caught at the Three V'S Catalina Island.

I was about to tell him the same... At least we know he is happy.

I like the looks of the weber one. I quit using them and cook all my fish on a cast iron griddle. Between that and my fish spatula I have no breaking issues.
