Guide to Grilling Fish and Seafood with the Direct Cooking Method

Whole Fish and Whole Fillets

Preheat your grill on HIGH for 2-3 min-
utes with the lid down. Raise lid and
turn burners to medium heat. Place fish
(skin down) on grill and cook over
direct heat until done. Use cooking
time as a guide or until fish is opaque
but still moist.

Smaller Fish Fillets and Cubes

Follow the directions from above, using
approximate cooking times shown at
right. Place a small piece of aluminum
foil on the cooking grids if the fish
pieces are small enough to drop
between the cooking grids.
Prepare your fruit or vegetables and brush with butter or
basting sauce if desired. To cook indirectly, the food should
be placed on the left or right side of your grill with the burn-
er lit on the opposite side and the grill lid down. Or center
your food on the secondary cooking rack and light the outer
grill burners. Either way, indirect cooking must be done
with the lid down.
In some instances, you may want to grill vegetables and
fruit directly over the heat, using the supplied cooking grids
or an optional griddle. Foods that work best with direct heat
are relatively soft and require a short cooking time; mush-
rooms, zucchini, tomatoes and skewered fruit such as apri-
cots, peaches, pineapple, strawberries and kiwis.
Remember the grill lid must remain up when cooking
directly. For very firm vegetables – particularly potatoes
and yams, we recommend that you partially boil until almost
cooked, before placing them on the grill.

Approximate Cooking Times
10 -12 minutes per pound or until fish
is opaque
4 - 5 minutes each side
or until fish is opaque
Cooking times using the indirect method with the hood
down will be similar to those for your kitchen oven.
However, there are many factors such as outside tempera-
ture, wind conditions and location of grill that affect your grill
performance so we suggest you watch the grill thermometer
and adjust the heat accordingly.
Cooking times for foods prepared with the direct method
will be much shorter mainly because of the direct heat
source and softness of the food. Timing will be comparable
to normal pan frying or grilling.
