How long should you cook fish on grill?

It's impossible to give you a specific cooking time without knowing more about the fish! Here's why:

* Fish Thickness: A thin fillet will cook much faster than a thick steak.

* Type of Fish: Different fish cook at different rates. Delicate fish like flounder will need less time than heartier fish like tuna.

* Grill Heat: A hot grill will cook fish faster than a cooler one.

* Desired Doneness: Do you like your fish cooked medium-rare or well-done?

Here's a general guide to help you:

To determine doneness:

* Flakes easily: When you press the fish with a fork, it should flake easily.

* Internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for most fish.

General cooking times:

* Thin fillets (1/2 inch thick): 3-5 minutes per side

* Medium-thick fillets (1 inch thick): 5-8 minutes per side

* Thick steaks (1.5 inches or thicker): 8-12 minutes per side

Tips for grilling fish:

* Oil the grill grates: This helps prevent sticking.

* Don't overcook: Fish can easily become dry if overcooked.

* Use a fish basket: This helps prevent the fish from falling through the grates.

* Season generously: Salt, pepper, and herbs are all great additions to fish.

Always check the fish for doneness and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
