Barbecue Fish Recipes & Seafood Recipes

With these barbecue fish recipes you don't need to worry about flaking fish that disappears through the cooking grate and onto the charcoal. Here are my quick tips to prevent this happening. The first TIP - make sure your fish is fresh! It really does make all the difference. I'm lucky enough to live by the coast so fresh fish is a plenty and I also get some great advice.

THE man who knows everything about fish from catching right through to cooking is my friend Manu (here on the right) who lives and works in Spain and has given me some great Spanish influences to my BBQ fish recipes. Thanks Manu!

The next TIP is not to turn it unnecessarily, use a Teflon® barbecue mat or if possible use a specially designed fish basket (pictured below).

There are some tried and tested techniques for cooking barbecue fish such as wrapping in foil but at the end of the day anyone can do that can’t they? And you don’t get that char grill sensation.

I like to make the bbq look interesting as well as smell interesting. If all you can see is a pile of foil wrapped fillets it takes the pleasure away. Maybe I’m wrong (if I am, please tell me!)

What could be simpler than stuffing the cavity to grill trout or salmon? I’ve included some variations on this theme in the barbecue fish recipes below.

There’s a Native American style of cooking called Plank Cooking that I've also found alive and well in Finland. It really keeps fish moist and there's many of my creations below too.
