Louisiana Seafood Gumbo Recipe - Fish Cooking Made Easy

If you are using fillets or small, whole fish, grilling is another cooking method. If your fish are whole, make slashes through the skin on each side of the fish and brush it with olive oil or butter. Turn the fish over halfway through cooking and baste it. You can also wrap the fish in foil with herbs, lemon juice, and olive oil before placing it on the grill.


If you do not have any source of truly fresh fish then the frozen alternative would be the next best option. Most fishing boats actually freeze the fishes at sub zero temperatures after a few hours of catching and it maintains the quality and freshness almost near that of a fresh fish. Always check the packaging and make certain that there are no discolorations on the flesh of the fish.

* If you are using fillets, you can sandwich them with stuffing or roll them up, then oven-bake them.

* You can buy grill baskets made for grilling seafood - these help small pieces of fish from falling through the grill, and will help in grilling delicate fillets.

* When Grilling Fish, it should be grilled with high, indirect heat.
* To check the fish for doneness, use the tip of a sharp knife and cut through the thickest part of the fillet.
* Shrimp, Scallops, and chunks of firm fleshed fish work well on skewers.
* If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning on the grill.
* To steam fish, put it in a steamer over boiling water and make sure you use a tight fitting lid.
