1. Heat grill to its highest setting. Rinse the fish under running cold water to dislodge any loose scales. Brush with a little of the oil and season lightly. Grill for 6-8 mins, or until cooked; the eye should be white, the skin well browned and the flesh firm and opaque.
2. Meanwhile, make the dressing: whisk the mustard, basil, honey, lemon zest and juice and remaining oil together in a small bowl, and season. Once the fish is cooked, spoon the dressing over and serve.

  Couldn't get Herring so I used Mackerel, the mackerel turning out very well. I put slightly less that 1 tbls of Mustard in the dressing and I still felt it was overpowering. Served this with cous cous, I might try this again but possible with a Dijon Mustard.
