For me, depends on the fish. For redfish, I drizzle on butter and fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle a little Tony Cachere's creole seasoning on it. For trout, I use very little other than salt and pepper with butter and lemon.

In an attempt to get some of my high school runners who turn their nose up at fish but eat cow, I tried to come up with a marinade that makes reds taste like steak.
Mixed olive oil, lots of worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic, with some pepper tossed in. Diced onions also go into the mix.
It's still fish, but looks kinda like steak due to the w. sauce, and a big platter of grilled redfish empties out in no time after track practice.
Cayenne pepper and paprika is my goto base. Then garlic and lemon pepper. I've also started brining fish in a strong salt mix with wirchestershir sauce and a few other spices. I like to slow cook it. A buddy of mine will brush it with blue cheese dressing and garlic.
But, if you can get the grill hot enough, you can't do much better than blackening with a good rub.
Marinate for a few hrs. in Zesty Italian dressing. Sprinkle on some Old Bay & Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning, grill directly over coals. Brush on mixture of fresh lemon juice, butter & any other spices you like.

X 2 And occasionally will use Mccormick Smokey Mesquite seasoning on Redfish
Don't forget the backbone! That's my favorite part when I grill redfish. As for seasoning, I just use whatever seems good and/or is handy at the time. It's all good.
I let them soak in beer, any light beer for trout and darker beer for reds, overnight then add butter, sea salt, lemon pepper, cajun spices. Grill on tin foil over coals. Keep adding beer after each bite. LOL.
