Tips for BBQ and Grilling Fish
- Small whole fish will need about 7 minutes on each side. A little longer if stuffed.
- Large whole fish will need about 15 minutes per side, again longer if it is very large or stuffed.
- Fillets (like salmon) will need about 6-8 minutes per side. Trout fillets may only need 4 minutes per side.
- Steaks (like halibut or salmon) usually need about 5 minutes per side.
- Kabobs are usually cut into chunks a little over an inch thick and will need about 12 minutes turning often.
- Cook fish and seafood like shrimp on a cleanly scraped grill that has been brushed with a little oil or fat.
- Cook fish on an oiled grill, skin side down, for the first part of the cooking time. The skin protects the fish from burning and drying out. It also can provide natural oils to your grill, so when you flip the fish it doesn't stick.
