Grilling fish can feel tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right fish and a few smart tips, you can master it.
Start with firm, hearty fillets or whole fish. Salmon, swordfish, tuna, mahi-mahi, and snapper are great on the grill. They hold together well and take on that smoky flavor beautifully.
Always start with a clean, hot grill. Oil the grates and the fish to keep it from sticking. A fish basket or foil packet works well for delicate fillets. Want crispy skin? Grill skin-side down first and don’t flip too early.
Keep your seasoning simple—salt, pepper, lemon, and herbs go a long way. For bold flavor, try a marinade or glaze. Watch the heat. Too high and the fish will burn outside before it cooks through.
Fish grills quickly, so stay close. Most fillets cook in 8–10 minutes total. Use a spatula, not tongs, to avoid breaking the fish.
Grilled fish is perfect for summer meals, tacos, salads, or just on its own. Once you know the basics, it’s easy to build on them. This guide covers the best fish to grill, how to do it right, and tips that bring out the best flavor and texture every time.
