Fish and Shellfish

Directions for Grilling Fish and Shellfish

Cook in oven with High Rack in place on Grill 1 for

fillets and steaks, Grill 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.

Brush with melted butter.

Place fish or shellfish on 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.

Carefully turn whole fish and steaks over halfway

through cooking.
