Ah,
yes…
the
season
of
the
GRILL!
From
tailgate
parties
to
everyday
family
meals,
the
grill
masters
come
out
and
show
what
they
have
to
offer.
Although
your
traditional
burgers,
hotdogs
ribs
an
steaks
are
great…
we
strongly
suggest
switching
it
up
this
summer.
For
great
flavors,
HUGE
variety,
and
better
health…think
fresh
seafood.
With
the
national
government
encouraging
everyone
to
eat
seafood
at
least
twice
a
week,
there
is
no
better
time
to
start
than
now.
Seafood
is
naturally
high
in
protein,
a
good
source
of
omega-3
fats,
and
provides
a
number
of
different
vitamins
and
minerals
that
are
beneficial
to
your
health.
When
we
say
the
options
are
endless,
we
mean
it.
Plus,
grilling
seafood
is
easy,
and
most
definitely
NOT
just
for
the
grill
“masters”.
There
are
so
many
different
seafood
options
to
cook
on
the
grill,
as
well
as
seasonal
flavors
to
enhance
your
meals;
you
should
never
have
to
eat
the
same
thing
twice.
Oily
fish
like
Tuna,
Salmon,
Swordfish,
Halibut
and
Mackerel
are
excellent
on
the
grill.
Use
steaks
and
fillets
at
least
a
½
inch
thick,
or
whole
dressed
fish.
Skin
on
fillets
work
nicely
too,
as
they
will
hold
together
well
and
add
extra
flavor.
Also,
don’t
be
afraid
to
grill
a
more
delicate
fish
like
grouper,
snapper,
flounder,
catfish,
and
tilapia.
Simply
place
your
seasoned
fillet
on
a
well-greased
piece
of
foil,
fold
over
the
edges
and
get
grilling!
Shellfish
are
also
great
selections
for
the
grill.
Oysters,
Clams,
Shrimp,
Lobster
Tails,
and
Crab
Legs
are
all
excellent
and
extremely
tasty!
Just
add
a
little
butter
and
you
have
yourself
a
gourmet
meal.
Grilling
Seafood
is
as
easy
as
placing
fillets
directly
on
the
grill,
however
there
are
many
other
options
to
spice
up
your
seafood
dish
this
summer
as
well.
-
Grilling
Planks:
Grilling
with
planks
will
not
only
keep
your
fish
fillets
intact,
but
it
will
give
you
extra
flavor,
with
a
smoky
aroma.
To
prepare
a
plank
for
using
on
the
grill,
pre-soak
your
plank
in
wine,
beer,
(seasoned)
water
or
cider
vinegars
for
at
least
an
hour.
After
soaking,
brush
a
small
amount
of
oil
on
the
plank
to
prevent
sticking
and
place
the
seafood
on
the
plank
and
place
the
plank
directly
on
the
grill.
Grilling
with
cedar
plank
will
give
you
extra
variety,
and
extra
flavor!
-
Skewers:
A
new
spin
on
your
traditional
chicken
and
steak
kabobs.
Shrimp,
scallops,
salmon,
tuna,
swordfish,
halibut
and
more
are
all
excellent
on
traditional
or
cedar
skewers.
Simply
add
seasoning
or
marinade
to
your
fresh
seafood
selection,
place
on
the
skewer
as
well
as
fresh
vegetables
and
fruits
and
grill
away.
-
Seafood
Burgers:
Put
a
spin
on
your
traditional
main
dish
by
substituting
red
meats
with
seafood.
Craving
a
burger?
Place
a
fresh
seafood
patty/sized
fillet
in
a
bun
for
a
delicious
seafood
burger
topped
with
fresh
veggies
or
fruit.
(We
love
salmon
patties
topped
with
fresh
pineapple!)
Also,
don’t
forget
about
seafood
as
an
excellent
salad
topper!
-
Grilling
seafood
this
time
of
year
is
all
about
the
SEASONAL
flavors.
Cooking
with
fresh
fruit
and
vegetables
make
an
excellent
addition
to
any
seafood
selection,
as
well
as
fresh
spices
and
flavorful
marinades.
We
also
recommend
cooking
seafood
over
a
bed
of
lemons,
oranges,
grapefruits
or
other
fruit
slices
for
additional
flavor
and
extra
moist
fillets.
Not
only
can
you
cook
with
fruits,
but
you
can
also
add
them
as
a
seafood
topping
for
a
fresh
citrus
flavor.
So,
here’s
your
chance
to
get
creative!
When
it
comes
to
grilling
your
seafood…
trust
us
when
we
say
it
is
easy!
Most
seafood
products
do
not
take
long
to
cook.
A
simple
rule
of
thumb:
Grill
fresh
fish
8-10
minutes
per
inch
of
thickness.
If
using
a
cedar
plank,
add
an
additional
10
minutes
to
your
cook
time.
For
shellfish
such
as
clams
and
mussels:
simply
place
them
either
directly
on
the
grill
or
in
a
foil
tin
pan
and
close
the
lid.
Within
just
a
few
short
minutes,
your
mollusks
should
open
and
will
have
cooked
in
their
own
natural
juices.
