One of the tricks with a fish basket is to not clamp it closed so the fish sits loosely and just squeeze it enough so they don't fall out when you turn them, much less sticking, you can leave it completely unfolded close it gently turn unfold with a little jiggle to release the skin and unfold again, of you do several turns you can oil the fish and basket each time.

Another trick to do is place 1/4 inch slices of orange or lemon one or two on the fish then close them in the basket to cook. Helps keep the fish slight raised away from the metal so effectively the fish is being suspended in the closed basket!

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to try grilling a fish for the first time this week and it really helped to see. I like the way you narrate the process and explain the trial and error aspects. It's much more helpful than watching someone do a perfectly rehearsed dish.

I love and appreciate your honesty about what works AND what does not!

One of the more truly honest fish grilling videos I've seen. Looks so delicious wish I was there to taste it. I'll take the one with the extra char.

Here's what i do when i grill a fish I learned this on the Mediterranean sea. When using a fish basket, put parsley on both sides of the fish preventing the fish net from sticking. Also when you flip a fish, you have to brush it with oil and lemon. Lastly, before opening the basket: KNOCK it on both sides it will fall by itself. Mine never stick and i don't even spray anything on it. Also, cook on low flame of course.

Wow, they look absolutely delicious!!! I love Yellow Tail!!! Excellent presentation!!! I personally don’t mind a little char on the food! The fun part about cooking is the trial and error, and eventually that eureka moment when you discover an effective technique or delicious recipe!!! Thanks for sharing your experience and I look forward to your next video!!! ☮️🖖🏽

Ideas 💡 When you grill the fish ,you can also use 🌰 🧅 choped and lay the fish on top of the onion You could use spiragas, make like a small bridge and lay the fish on top .

I don't know about everyone else but grilling the fish in a tray works very well for me. I get all of that charcoal flavor and no sticking. If the color isn't to your liking, you can always finish off the last bit with a butane torch.

Nice video mate.. Regards from Indonesia... We eat grilled fish everyday, really nice seing you grilling fish the way we do. About the coming off skin and sticky, try to find the fish that hasnt got red eyes, red eyed fish means it's no longer fresh. Here in Indonesia we believe that. If you grilled some red eyed fish, it will be sticky, and the meat is easy to fall off, and often get shattered. Very fresh fish shouldnt get red-eyed. Waiting for your next video!!

beautiful! thanks! subscribed!

Try Jamaican style snapper, take the fins off, put salt, black pepper, garlic and fish seasoning and stuff the belly with thyme and green onions.

Dude your awesome try crisco to oil the fish basket or grill. We live in Hollywood beach and shore fish, we learned from old local fishing guys how to do this so good for you posting your videos. It takes more than once to ace this but who cares as long as it tastes good!!

Put parsley on both sides: brush the fish with oil and lemon when you flip it. And knock the basket before you open it. It will never stick.

At 0:29 "...taste was absolutely SPECTACULAR" what !!??😃😄😄

Cook it on a piece of lightly oiled aluminum foil, just large enough to flip the fish to the unused portion when ready , the grill marks come right thru without burning and the fish does not stick, it still gets all the flavor of being grilled.

You did everything perfectly well, but the fire was flaming and it was too high and reached the skin. Make sure the skin of the fish is very dry, wipe with a paper towel then add seasonings, and oil to coat.Nice job though.

Just cooked WAY too long. Fish is done at about 114°F. Get a probe thermometer. Or more experience. :)

You cannot rely on timing, you have to be checking the doneness after 4 min. Your fire might be too hot or too cold compared to the last time, so check the meat always. Those baskets look like the answer, but NOT. Oiling the grill many times before placing the fish, and lots of olive oil on the fish, not the spray you were using. When I saw that, I knew you would have trouble and let's face it, the taste of fresh olive oil cannot be beaten.

I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience kzread.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.
