Fans of frequent forays into nature know that they cannot do without food supplies. Of course, you can quickly make some sandwiches and take some vegetables and fruits. But what could be better than traditional summer entertainment - barbecue. More often it is prepared from meat, but I have noticed more than once that fish baked on the grill for some reason flies away first.
The incomparable smoky aroma, incredibly delicate taste, speed of preparation - everything speaks in favor of seafood and lakes. And fish is healthier, everyone knows about this, especially people losing weight. Cooking recipes on the grill are as simple as the taste is excellent. It is advisable just not to make a mistake in choosing fish and choose the right marinade for it. Which fish is better to fry? Experts have long found the answer to this question.
What kind of fish is better to fry on the grill?
Not every type of seafood, lakes and rivers is suitable for cooking on a grill.
Give preference to fatty types with a small number of seeds.
- Red fish. The most delicious kebabs will be made from fatty red species - trout and salmon. Coho salmon, mullet and sockeye salmon are no less tasty, and they are also more affordable.
- Discard pink salmon, it is quite dry, and hot coals will dry it out even more.
- Mackerel. Ideal for grilling, steaks and kebabs. We have already prepared it, and were convinced of the merits of the fish from our own experience.
- Catfish has a dense structure, holds its shape well and is excellent for kebabs.
- Pike perch is a budget and affordable fish; when cooked over coals it becomes juicy and tasty.
- Pike is quite bony and dry, it is better to avoid it.
- Bream. Excellent, recently prepared and approved by the whole company, go to another village for recipes.
- Carp does not hold its shape well when placed on a grill or skewer, but is excellent in foil.
- Flounder. Quick to prepare, tasty and aromatic.
- Halibut. I advise you to cook it in foil, as it can fall apart on the grill.
- Tuna, with its large amount of meat, is great for grilling. Very juicy, with a rich taste.
- Dorado. Incredibly tender, delicious meat, you will not regret if you choose it.
- Sea bass. I recommend cooking only the whole fish, but keep in mind that the fish is quite bony. It is not suitable for barbecue because it gets too overcooked.
- Carp. Best suited for cooking on a grill and in foil.
For baking, take medium-sized fish so as not to marinate them for a long time, and, in addition, reduce the cooking time. Divide large specimens into steaks or fillets.
Which fish is best for grilling?
Frying, of course, is easier, but grilled is much healthier. Firstly, practically no fat is used for its preparation, and overcooked vegetable oil is a source of large amounts of carcinogens that are absorbed into the meat. Secondly, when using a marinade, you can significantly diversify the taste of the same dish, or you can leave the original taste characteristics - for example, when it comes to red fish.
And if we list the types of sea and river inhabitants that are most suitable for baking, then it is salmon that occupy the first place in this list.
So, what is the best fish to grill:
- red fish, sea and river (salmon, salmon, coho salmon, trout);
- tuna;
- sturgeon;
- dorado;
- mackerel;
- all varieties of sea bass;
- herring;
- lean bream.
All types of lean white fish are not very suitable for grilling - they turn out too dry. Carp, although fatty, has many small bones, so they, like pike, are also not the best candidates.
If the size of the carcasses is such that they fit on the grill, it is better to cook them whole, first gutting them and making cuts for better soaking and frying of the meat.
It is better to cut large fish into steaks or fillets, but you need to choose meaty specimens, preferably without bones in the dorsal area.
If time for marinating is short, and this is often the case, then it is better to buy medium-sized carcasses. Before sending them to the grill, you can simply pepper/salt them and spread them with spices or herbs. Fish kebabs can be called a very attractive dish, for which you need to choose a type with elastic flesh - such pieces will be held more firmly on the skewers.
And one more nuance: it is better to choose freshly caught fish for grilling, if this is, of course, possible.
If this is not possible, before going to the store, study a few simple recommendations regarding the choice of fish:
- if you buy carcasses with the head on, pay attention to the eyes - they should not be cloudy, the gills should have a light shade;
- sniff the fish: a specific fishy smell (usually different for each species) is a sign of its freshness; the presence of any foreign odors should raise suspicions;
- the scales should be dense, the skin should not peel off from the meat;
- do not select specimens with damaged bodies;
- If you buy fillets or steaks, the meat should be elastic, looseness is unacceptable.
The right fish is the key to a successfully prepared dish.

How to fry fish steaks
For the dish, choose fish with a minimum number of bones. Also, this recipe can be used for grilling flounder.
Ingredients:
- Fish – 3 kg.
- Red hot chili pod.
- Lemon.
- Garlic - head.
- Salt.
How to cook:

- Grill, turning the grate frequently. During the process, baste the pieces with the remaining marinade to prevent the steaks from burning. Approximate cooking time is a quarter of an hour.
Preparing the fish
Chilled carcasses are best. They are easier to prepare. However, frozen fish should not be avoided. If you defrost it correctly, it will be no worse.
The fish carcass should be transferred from the freezer to the refrigerator for about 10 - 13 hours. It is best to do this in the evening, and you can start cooking in the morning. This method will allow the fish to retain all its taste and shape when fried.
After defrosting, the carcass should be rinsed well in cool water and start cutting. First of all, the head and large fins (including the tail) are removed. After this, the insides are removed and everything is washed with water again.
After these procedures, the fish can be left in this form (if you plan to fry it whole), cut into pieces (frying steaks) or fillet (cooking barbecue).
When thinning, it is important to remove all bones, even very small ones. Sometimes this is problematic, so chefs recommend choosing fish with the fewest bones. And after this, the resulting fillet is cut into pieces of the required size (5 cm is considered the best option).
When cooking steaks, the fish is cut into 3-4 cm pieces, so they are better fried.
Fish steaks are best served with herbs and sauces

- Marinade recipes
Fish cooked over coals is not inferior to meat in popularity and is always present in the diet of summer residents. It is tasty, healthy and cooks faster. It is customary to place pre-marinated fish on the grill or grill.
General rules for marinating
How to marinate fish for grilling and is it necessary to do so? Some people prefer to enjoy the taste of the fish itself, while others want extraneous flavors. The main thing is to choose the right marinade: each type of fish will have its own.
Fish is more tender than meat, so different sauces are needed for grilling it - softer and less rich.
To prevent pieces or carcasses from falling apart during baking, it is not recommended to marinate them for more than an hour.
The most suitable dishes for aging fish are ceramic or glass. It is better to avoid containers made of plastic and metal.
Marinating red fish for barbecue has its own peculiarities. It goes well with lemon, but its pulp loses its rich color due to acid and becomes covered with an unsightly coating. Experts advise not to add lemon juice to the marinade, but to sprinkle it on already baked fish or, before frying, make cuts in the flesh and insert pieces of citrus into them. You can add olive oil, garlic, and thyme to the filling.
You can add white wine, beer, lemon, tomatoes, thyme, garlic, and white pepper to marinades for white fish.
For fatty fish, ginger, mustard, orange juice, horseradish, tarragon, corn or olive oil, and beer are good options.
River fish can be sprinkled with lemon juice 15 minutes before baking.
Marinade recipes

- granulated sugar – 50 grams,
- chili pepper - half a pod.

Add half of the chopped ginger and chili pepper to one part, place the pieces of fish, put the remaining ginger and chili on top and pour in a second portion of the marinade. Leave for half an hour.
