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 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.
Brush with melted butter. Carefully turn whole fish and steaks over halfway
through cooking.
