Directions for Grilling Fish and Shellfish
Cook in oven with High Rack in place on Grill 1 for fillets and
steaks, Grill 2 for whole fish and shellfish.
For lobster tails, remove soft shell centre (underneath portion) of
lobster tails by cutting centre out with kitchen shears. Loosen
lobster from shell with fingers, leaving meat attached to tail
section.
Brush fish and shellfish with melted butter, margarine or oil before
and during cooking. Basting helps prevent the fish and shellfish
from drying out.
Place fish or shellfish on preheated High Rack.
Cook for the times recommended in chart.
Whole fish and fish steaks should be carefully turned over halfway
through cooking time.
If desired, turn thick fish fillets over halfway through cooking.
To test for desired cooking, the flesh of fish should easily flake.
Seafood should be opaque.
