Common Questions: Mastering Coastal Grilling
How do I stop my fish from sticking to the grill?
As a hospitality professional, Oliver’s #1 tip is to make sure your grill is incredibly clean and hot before you start. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel, then oil the fish—not the grill. This creates a barrier that lets the fish release naturally once it’s seared.
How can I tell when grilled shrimp are done?
Look for the “C”! According to **Serious Eats**, a perfectly grilled shrimp should be shaped like a loose letter “C” and be opaque all the way through. If it curls into a tight “O,” it’s already overcooked and will be rubbery. It only takes about 1-2 minutes per side!
Is grilling seafood actually healthy?
Yes! Grilling is one of the healthiest ways to prepare seafood because it allows excess fat to drip away while locking in vitamins. To keep it even healthier, **Healthline** suggests using quick-cooking times and acidic marinades like citrus or vinegar to protect the delicate proteins.
