Directions for grilling fish and seafood
Place fish and seafood on the rack. Whole fish should be scored diagonally on both sides before grilling. Brush fish and seafood with melted butter, margarine or oil before and during cooking. This helps stop the fish drying out. Grill for times recommended in the chart. Whole fish and fish steaks should be carefully turned over halfway through grilling time. If desired thick fillets can also be turned halfway.
