(ARA) - There are few summer pastimes more honored than backyard grilling and entertaining. But before you fire up the grill for your next bash or weeknight dinner, you should learn how to properly select and grill fresh fish to perfection.
* Always seek the freshest fish in your local area. Ask your fish market or grocery if they receive their fish daily or what frozen options they recommend.
* Ask about the origin of the fish you're buying, and make sure it has been stored at about 28 F at all times.
* If a fish smells "fishy," don't buy it and don't eat it. Look for shiny skin and undamaged scales. Press firmly on the skin and make sure the fish regains its original shape quickly. Whole fish should have clear eyes, not cloudy.
Master Chef Tony Seta says the best way to grill fish is on a wooden plank, which imparts a smoky flavor and keeps fish from sticking to the grill.
If you're in the mood for a night out, Chef Seta recommends the fresh fish dishes at Bonefish Grill, such as Wild Alaskan Cedar Plank Salmon with a Chorizo Topping. Visit www.BonefishGrill.com to find the location nearest you.
