Two summer delights that Californians and Napa Valley residents enjoy are great seafood and plenty of opportunities for grilling. But putting those two together can make for a superb culinary alternative to the typical barbequed tri-tip or steaks.<\/p>\n
When your grill recipes include grilled seafood, the options are as wide as your tastes. And it doesn\u2019t hurt that most seafood selections are not only delicious but healthy. Besides, who doesn\u2019t need a little \u201cbrain-food\u201d once in a while?<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/h2>\nTossing some hot dogs or even hamburger patties on a grill is not a particularly complex cooking operation. And while some grilling aficionados may disagree, most anyone can successfully pull off a tasty hot dog and burger grilling.<\/p>\n
But maybe not so much with grilled seafood, however.<\/p>\n
Many\u00a0seafood items<\/a>\u00a0can be especially challenging to cook on a grill because their texture causes them to stick to the hot grates easily. Gauging correct temperatures is also a bit tricky since each type of seafood will require slightly different cooking times and temperatures.<\/p>\n And, as the folks at The Spruce\u00a0have noted<\/a>,<\/p>\n \u201cCooking fish can be stressful for beginners. It seems fragile, delicate; it\u2019s expensive (at least relative to, say, hamburger), it has bones, it has a face\u2014whatever it is, there\u2019s an intimidation factor for sure.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n A few tips to encourage those who may be new to grilling seafood include:<\/p>\n One more thought when grilling seafood, especially fish \u2013 avoiding the common mistake of having dry, overcooked fish.<\/p>\n This can be easily avoided, according to\u00a0an article<\/a>\u00a0from The Better Fish,<\/p>\n \u201cGet the Grill Hot<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The key to tender grilled fish is starting with a hot fire. This will lessen the amount of time the fish will cook overall, thereby preventing the meat from getting too tough. It will also help caramelize the fish and allow grill marks to form (a must for that perfectly-grilled fish look). A hot fire will help prevent the dreaded grate-sticking, too.<\/em><\/p>\n Brush the Fish with Oil<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n To help seal in some of the natural moisture, pat the fish dry and coat it with vegetable or olive oil. This is particularly important for firm-fleshed fish like salmon, halibut, or tuna, which can go directly onto the grate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper or other seasonings as desired.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the best things about seafood is the sheer variety of fish and shellfish products to choose from. And one of the best things about grilling is its versatility as a cooking method, especially for seafood.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve trolled through the vast sea of recipes available for grilled seafood and reeled in three superb catches to inspire your next grilled seafood adventure.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n From the digital shores of Allrecipes.com we managed to land this top-rated grilled salmon recipe.<\/p>\n Essentially, grilling salmon filets is fairly simple and straightforward. But what really completes a superb grilled salmon dish is the marinade.<\/p>\n As Allrecipes\u00a0points out<\/a>\u00a0with this particular recipe,<\/p>\n \u201cA simple soy sauce and brown sugar marinade, with hints of lemon and garlic, are the perfect salty-sweet complement to rich salmon fillets.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n Original recipe yields 6 servings. You can find the recipe directions and tips\u00a0here.<\/a><\/p>\n Probably one of the seafood products that offers the most variety of serving possibilities, shrimp is just as great from the grill as it is basted and served with fettucine.<\/p>\n This sweet and spicy grilled shrimp recipe that we caught at the\u00a0Tasting Table website<\/a>,<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026incorporates both sweet and spicy flavors, which work incredibly well together. This would be an excellent dish to serve during to the family in the summer, or it would be great to make if you\u2019re having a group of friends over.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Created by recipe developer Hayley MacLean, this dish is not only incredibly flavorful, but it\u2019s relatively easy to make and requires minimal ingredients.<\/p>\n Recipe information:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n Optional Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n You can find the recipe directions and cooking instructions\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n While fish and shrimp \u201con the barbie\u201d will elevate any barbecue outing, there is little that can match the glitz of a grilled lobster tail recipe.<\/p>\n\n
