How To Grill Fish

I have to admit, I really suck when it comes to grilling any kind of fish. I have tried all kinds of fish – salmon, cod, orange roughy, etc.

I love seafood, especially ocean fish. I was at a friend’s house not long ago and he grilled fish that was unbelievable. It had a cracker crust and was perfect.  Since then, I’ve tried to duplicate what he did… failure.

  • Fish was soggy
  • Fish fell through the grate
  • Fish got burnt
  • Fish tasted like hamburger

So, I did what I typically do when I don’t know how to do something, I turn to YouTube and check out what they have to say.  I found the following video, and the results have been great. The video is in HD, so if you have a slower connection, you’ll want to change the resolution on the control bar from 720p to 360p.

Notice how he uses two spatulas to turn the fish. That’s a bit tricky. You might want to go get a fish basket.

If you’ve struggled like me to grill fish, watch the video above and knock em dead. I can’t hardly eat fish any other way now. I have tried orange roughy and halibut so far. I’m going for salmon and some shrimp on the ole BBQ next time out.
