Abstract: A device for grilling fish comprises a cage-type structure, a plurality of holding elements arranged over the length thereof, on which the fish to be grilled is skewered in the longitudinal direction with its belly side open from the bottom, each holding element is designed as a double skewer with two pointed ends at a distance, transversally to the longitudinal direction, between which the rear ridge of the skewered fish is received. Each double-skewer holding element also comprises a transversal section extending beneath the pointed ends of the holding element on which lies the rear ridge of the skewered fish. The device also comprises a plurality of separate transversal skewers which bore above the rear ridge of the fish skewered on the holding elements, transversally to the body of the fish, and can be held in this position in guiding means of the cage-type structure, associated therewith.
