Rub down with oil before grilling. Cook until fish flakes in the thickest part.

Steaks and Fillets

Rub down with oil before placing on grill. For smaller cuts or more delicate fillets, you may want to place on heavy duty foil rather than directly on grill grates. Cook until fish flakes in thickest part.

Shrimp

Skewer then marinate. Cook until shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent.

Scallops

Skewer then brush liberally with butter. Cook until they are opaque throughout the whole scallop.

Clams and Mussels

Cook until the shells open up.

Oysters
