how long do you grill whole  tilapia
Let the fish sit at room temperature while the grill heats; cold fish tends to stick. Oil and season the tilapia to taste and lay it on the hot side of the grill. Grill tilapia fillets for 2 to 3 minutes and turn them over. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the fillets pull away cleanly from the grill. To grill whole tilapia, place it on the grill and cook it for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
