I gave fish grilling a shot for the first time this evening, and it turned out GREAT!!! All I did was season some redfish fillets with salt, pepper, and blackened seasoning, and rub olive oil over them before griling. I put them on my gas grill as hot as it would get, and only turned once. Turned out Great!! What other fish would be good grilled? I would assume it has to be a fish with pretty rigid meat or it wouldn't work bc it would fall apart.

Any firmed-flesh fish is great on the grill. Flakey fish can be grilled too if you are really careful or use a fish grilling basket. -
I like to grill fish...personally I like my redfish on the halfshell because it cooks up really flaky and moist...leave the skin on the fillet and cook skin side down and let your imagination run wild on what to baste with...personally I like thick and chunky salsa. The juice penetrates to the skin and then steams back up through the meat...
I also like to use water soaked cedar planks on the grill to cook less firm fish like trout...
Heres a recipe I did last summer that really worked out well...

Thanks for the advice. Next time we catch some reds, I'll have to remember to leave the skin on some fillets.Comment

A tip when grilling fish.
Rub a starch (slice of potatoe or apple) on the hot grill just before you put your fish on and it will prevent it from sticking to the grill.
Tip works well with salmon that tends to stick. Grill it on the skin side for 5 minutes, flip it for a minute or two to brown the top. A little honey on the flesh side gives it a nice carmelization.Comment

X2 on the Redfish on the halfshell--that's the ONLY way to grill redfish, also try garlic butter basted. Now we've done it, gone and made me hungry, time to fire up the Flats Cat!!!!!Comment

I love to wrap fish with garlic and vegetables in foil and then throw it on the grill. It's the easiest dinner and tastes delicious!Comment

my MIL gave us some Halibut she caught in Alaska, I put some olive oil, sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, 1/2 a lemon sliced, sliced onion and some potatos sliced, all in a foil "pouch". put it on my charcoal grill and flipped once. I made 4 "pouches". The wife is not a big grilled fish type of gal, but she loved it...
The other day i grilled some talapia for some fish tacos, basically the same way you did, and made a jalapeno ranch sauce to drizzle on top... everyone loved the sauce, dipping EVERYTHING to eat in it, even the fried catfish we had (we were at a party where the dinner theme was fish/seafood)... basically consisted of butter milk, jalapeno, ranch dip mix and cilantro...real easy, just added everything in a blender till i liked it...Comment

salmon is an excellent grilled fish. Grill flesh side down first just long enough to leave grill marks, then flip to skin side down. The skin protects the meat some burning, so you it gives you a pretty wide margin of error for overcooking. Personally I like it a little under cooked.Comment

One tip for cooking whole trout, after it is cooked and on a plate, grab and lift the tail, take a fork and gently cut into the meat at the tail section and start lifting the tail as you work the for towards the head. Flip and repeat. This removes the entire skeleton in one piece.Comment

fresh grouper is incredible on the grill... I cook it at a lower temp for about 20 mins...
after soaking it in a brine mixture, then a little seasoning, and done...
you can also get those fish "baskets" for grilling big pieces, makes it a lot easier to
flip over big filets...Comment
