Lonely Forum Fresh Fish

[austinl]

This area of the forum seems a little lonely so I think I'll freshen it up with some pics.  Nothing special here just some simple tilapia filets marinated for half a day in some cooking oil, vinegar, garlic, and dried parsley.

The grilling tray is an excellent design, its from Webber and I think we found it at a Bass Pro.  I was cooking directly over a mixture of charcoal and mesquite chunks (I know not the best choice for fish but it was the only chunks I had).  I'm sorry I didn't measure the cooking temp or time it because I was grilling it.  The fish came out good, nice and moist, flaky, still tasted like fish ( I can't stand fish that is drowned in so much seasoning or sauce that you can't taste the fish it's self.)   A lot of friends and family I have are afraid of cooking fish any way other than baking because they say it's too hard to get it right.  The way I always do fish with direct heat is cook on one side until the edges just start to turn white then I flip it and cook just to the point where a thick part starts to easily flake apart with my turner.  I've never timed that method but it's always worked.  I hope that answered your questions and I 100% recommend that grilling tray from Webber if you like to grill small or delicate items (I've even used it in my smoker a time or two).
