Tips:

  • Choose the freshest fish possible. Look for fish that has bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm, springy body.
  • Clean the fish thoroughly before cooking. Remove the scales, gut the fish, and rinse it inside and out with cold water.
  • Score the fish before grilling. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from curling up.
  • Season the fish liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for grilled red snapper include rice, vegetables, and lemon wedges.
