That sounds a thousand ways better than gutting the thing, it's not the first time he's seen fish served whole after all, and it wouldn't be the first time he's eaten it that way either. It's better for him, maybe not so much for Yehudit.

It goes smooth at least, fish are squishy even in this world and thankfully they are mostly bloodless too. He doesn't need to be told what else to do, he could probably look for suitable twigs to put the stick on but he instead holds it over the fire as close as he can, all his attention on it. There isn't much else to do but to cook this fish, is there?

Sooner than later it starts smelling different and looking different, it'll be done soon.
