Most people associate the word ‘barbeque’ with a juicy steak sizzling on the grills or served up with brightly colored serveware and flatware. The grills, though, are much more versatile, and can handle a wide range of foods, including seafood, fruits and vegetable dishes. Here are some handy grill accessories and tips to help you grill fish to perfection. Take Your Time Selecting the Fish Fish fillets tend to be delicate in comparison to meat steaks. It is important to be careful when grilling fish so that the meat remains intact when flipped or transferred onto the serveware. Choose a fish with firm flesh, like sea bass, cod, salmon or tuna, for easy and convenient grilling. A good way to get the best cuts for your grill is to select pre-cut fillets of fish. Fish fillets are available in three widths: thick, thin and steak-cut. Look for fresh fish instead of frozen for the best flavor and nutritional value. Remember, you can always substitute one fish, with a similar flavor and texture, for another. Ask the fish counter staff for suggestions. This is also a great way to find local alternatives for more exotic species. Stock Your Cooking Area with Handy Grill Accessories Specialty grill accessories, like the fish spatula, make it a lot easier to cook fish to perfection. Fish spatulas come in several sizes and shapes, but they all have one thing in common. All of them are designed to slip deftly and easily under the tender meat of a delicate fish fillet. Opt for a wide-headed spatula, which performs the same function. The most important feature in these spatulas is the width of the head. Spatulas that work well with fish tend to have heads that are at least double the width of normal spatula heads. The wide head makes it easier to transfer the fish using the flatware. Look for spatulas with more gaps in the head that allow the cooking juices to soak through the fillet. The gaps also prevent the fish cuts from getting soggy. Finally, opt for long-handled grill spatulas that help you comfortably use the whole surface of the barbeque grill. Make sure to include flatware like fish forks to enhance your seafood spread. Fish forks are specialized cutlery that have an extra wide left tine, and a grooved optional notch that can easily fit over the bones. Use these simple tips the next time you grill fish to plate up perfectly cooked fish fillets.
