Allow your fish to sit for 5-10 minutes to bring it up to room temperature before generously oiling and seasoning it prior to putting it on your cooking grates.If you’ve experienced fish sticking to the grates in the past, chances are you didn’t preheat your grill to the correct grilling temperature, or clean your cooking grates properly. Just a good rule of thumb, clean cooking grates are a necessity no matter what you are grilling to aid in easy removal of your grilled cuisine. The last thing to do is clean the cooking grates with a stainless-steel brush to remove all prior cooking debris that may still be left over. Now that your grill is preheated, you’re almost ready to start grilling your fish.
