The right portion size - If the fish is served as a main course, you can expect 200 - 250 g per person. If there are a lot of side dishes or you are grilling particularly fatty fish like salmon, it can be less. Fish fillets are usually cooked in a few minutes, so just grill for a second round if necessary. Prepare fish properly - Fish fillets are the easiest to prepare. If you want to prepare a whole fish, you should gut and scale it first. After defrosting, wash the pieces briefly under cold water and dry them well with kitchen paper so that the marinade and spices adhere well. -
Marinade and oil - Fish has a different meat structure than steak etc., which is why you should marinate it for a maximum of one hour. Before grilling, remove any excess marinade so that it does not drip into the flames and burn. Do you want to grill the fish plain or lightly seasoned? Then coat it well with heat-resistant vegetable oil, such as sunflower or rapeseed oil. No disintegration - There are various preparation gadgets to ensure that your fish does not disintegrate. For example, you can put it in a grill basket, on a plancha or in fish grill tongs. In Caribbean cuisine, grilled food is wrapped in banana or corn leaves. Or you can use fireproof baking paper. The advantage of this method is that the moisture stays in the fillet and it becomes particularly juicy. Some people like it hot - your fish probably doesn't! If the temperature is too high, the tender meat will quickly dry out. We recommend heating the grill grate up well, as this will prevent anything from sticking. The perfect temperature is reached when the flames have gone out and the coals are still glowing. The shorter the better - In contrast to meat, fish becomes softer during the cooking process. It has the optimal consistency when it gives slightly when pressed but is still juicy. As a rule of thumb: 1 cm thick fillets need around 6-8 minutes, 2 centimetre thick fillets around 8-10 minutes. If the food has skin on one side, grill it for longer on that side first and then turn it briefly to the other side.

Recipes with grilled fish
With our top tips, grilled fish becomes a real culinary highlight. Enjoy a warm summer evening with your loved ones and impress them with perfectly grilled fish. If you're looking for more fish and seafood grilling tips, you'll find more ideas for your enjoyment in our blog post.
Fish on orange slices
The easiest way to gently grill fish. By placing it on orange slices, your fillet is guaranteed not to stick to the grill and at the same time it gets a fine citrus aroma. Topped with orange and sage butter, you can expect a fine fish treat of the highest quality. Works with salmon, but also with any other fish.
Marinated salmon fillets with herb oil
Are you looking for a delicious, versatile marinade? How about a homemade herb oil, tailored to your taste? Grab some fresh herbs and garlic, a good olive oil and your fish fillet of choice and whip up a delicacy on the grill in no time at all.
Flamed salmon Asian style
Although not a classic barbecue recipe, the flame-grilled salmon is a real eye-catcher. A whole side of salmon is tied to a wooden board and cooked diagonally over a fire. Perfect for convivial evenings around the campfire or parties with lots of hungry guests.
Side dishes for grilled fish
A classic barbecue includes plenty of herb baguette. But seasonal vegetables also go well with fish, and are best prepared on the grill at the same time. Fresh leaf salads are also wonderful as a side dish. Citrus flavors are ideal for the dressing, and go well with both lean fish like cod and fatty fish like salmon. In the end, the rule is: whatever tastes good, goes well!
