Some good suggestions here. I never used foil. You can only normally use it once & then it's a wadded up piece of trash in your pack. Once I did sort of smoke about fifteen trout over a fire so I could take them out & eat them then. I made a fire and let it burn down pretty low. I made a grid of green pine sticks supported over the coals by rocks around the edge and put the fish on top & turned them over as they cooked. They don't get crunchy, but they get cooked with a smokey flavor. You can eat what you want at the time & cook the rest until they are a bit more dried for later. But what I always did was go to the store & buy a cheap, lightweight, 12' frying pan and cheap, lightweight lid. I'd take the handle off the pan & use it to fry (I only used something like canola oil and garlic salt & pepper for trout) and the pan can be used for a bunch of other things too.
