Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high. Rinse the 1 whole fish and pat dry. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Stuff the cavity with half of the 1 cup fresh herbs. Wrap fish in aluminum foil, sealing tightly.
Step 3
Grill the wrapped fish for 10-12 minutes, until flesh flakes easily with a fork. Carefully open foil to let steam escape.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make sauce: mix juice of 1 lime, 2 tbsp fish sauce, and 1 tsp sugar (if you have it) in a small bowl. Stir in remaining herbs and 0.5 cup peanuts.
Step 5
Serve fish with steamed rice, sliced cucumber, and sauce on the side. Sprinkle extra peanuts on top if desired.
