Tips for Perfectly Grilled Flounder

Use these useful suggestions to guarantee properly grilled flounder each and every time:

To stop the flounder from breaking apart and adhering to the grates, use a grill basket or fish grilling basket.

 

To keep the flounder fillets moist and tasty while grilling, baste them with more marinade.

To keep the flounder from splitting apart, try not to flip it too much. Cook it without stirring until it comes out of the grill grates with ease.

Make small, diagonal slashes across the skin of the flounder when grilling it whole to keep it from curling and to ensure that it cooks evenly.
