Boating buddy had a thick steak on his round, stainless grill which
was attached to his stern rail. As he carelessly speared it to remove
to his plate ---shplop --- into the drink. I doubt the fish even
wanted it.
With nary a cuss nor tear, he jumped in his car (this happened in a
marina) and sped off to a nearby market. Wasn't about to let those
nice hot coals go to waste.

I'm not a big griller. Got a small Weber, but haven't used it in
ages. It's either too hot outside, or don't have enough charcoal or
the time to fiddle with it. The few times I've grilled, it seems the
nicest coals are there long after, you've eaten. Timing and patience
are key, I guess.
