Mastering the Art of Grilling Fish

Choose the Right Fish

Select fresh fish, whole or fillets, depending on your preference. Whole fish is often juicier, while fillets are easier to handle.

Prep Your Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates thoroughly to prevent the fish from sticking.

Season the Fish

Season your fish with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs or spices. Don't forget to oil both the fish and the grill grates generously.

Grill the Fish

Place the fish on the grill. Cook whole fish for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or fillets for 3-4 minutes per side.

Check for Doneness

Check if the fish is done by inserting a fork into the thickest part. If it flakes easily, it's done. Be careful not to overcook it.

Rest and Serve

Once done, let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your perfectly grilled fish with a squeeze of lemon or your favorite sauce.
