To cook fish on a charcoal grill, grill fish directly over medium coals for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish just flakes easily when tested with a fork, gently turning once halfway through grilling. Serve as above.
Meanwhile, for slaw, in a medium bowl combine the zucchini, radishes, pea pods, and chives. Stir together vinegar, the remaining sesame oil, and the remaining sugar. Drizzle over the zucchini mixture; toss to coat. Serve the fish with slaw.

Comments: Wasabi—the head-clearing green condiment traditionally served with sushi—adds a subtle fire to this fish dish. Look for wasabi powder or paste in Japanese markets or larger supermarkets.
