Perfectly grilling sea bream - how to do it
Basically, grilling a sea bream is very easy: 1. Season the sea bream fillet with thyme and garlic, for example, and cut the skin of the sea bream several times at a slight angle with the knife. 2. Then you can prepare the sea bream fillet on the grill or on the fire in just a few minutes.
Grilling sea bream with skin
In most cases, sea bream is grilled whole with skin on. First you have to remove the skin, although most sea bream that you can buy are usually already gutted and descaled. Our sea bream, however, is already pre-filleted with the skin on, which not only saves you the effort of cutting up the fish, but also halves the cooking time. The skin keeps the fish nice and crispy and has more flavor.
Grilling sea bream with aluminum foil
For example, you can grill the sea bream on the charcoal grill on a piece of aluminum foil. But it is also possible to put the sea bream wrapped in a piece of aluminum foil directly into the embers - for example on a campfire. To do this, cover the fish with some hot embers and take it out again after about 15 minutes. But which grill is suitable for grilling a sea bream?
