Skin side down cook till it's done, add any flavors you like...butter with Parmesan is pretty tasty...I like to leave the skin on, it will save you from having to turn the fish

A 40lb YT is a big one; show us pictures if you got any..!
congratulations...

Its hard to go wrong with YT. Its a versitile and dense fish
That hold up great on the grill. It has enough flavore to stand
On its own but takes marinades well. Teriyaki is always a
Winner. Lemon pepper, hot pepper, any thing citrusy, its all
Good. Marinate fish just an hour or 2, not over night like beef.
Just don't over cook. And it will be great. And if you took the collars
Off they are a real treat on the grill. Mike

Mike nailed it,

The collars are hard to beat, I did this weeks fish on the bbq with Evo, salt and pepper.
Soooooooooo good!

I like mine with lemon juice, a splash of Worcestershire sauce and plenty of black pepper. That being said I haven't had the honor of grilling a 40 lber.

I love fresh minced garlic, lemon pepper and olive oil on YT on the grill.
