FAQ

Can you grill fish whole?

Place the fish fillet skin-side down, perpendicular to the grates, cover the grill, and cook as directed until the skin is browned and the fish releases easily when lifted with a thin, metal spatula. If you want to grill fillets, skin-on helps to lessen sticking.

Should red snapper be cooked with skin on?

Additionally, keeping the fish gutted but whole allows you to both crisp the skin up and introduce aromatic herbs and citrus by stuffing the cavity while still achieving that incredible grilled flavor. Whole fish will naturally grill better than thin filets.
