striped bass recipes

Marinades are a good way to add flavor and moisture to the fish before cooking. You only need to marinate fish for 30-60 minutes. If you marinate the fish for too long, the acids in the marinade will start to cook and break down the flesh. Lean fish should also be basted during cooking to keep the fish from drying out. Fattier fish, like tuna and salmon don't need basting, but you can baste them to add more flavor.

It isn't hard to grill seafood, but it does take some practice. Follow these tips for grilling seafood, and expand your grilling repertoire. It's a great break from the usual BBQ like hamburgers, hot dogs, and steaks.

* Never use water from close proximity marinas, municipal or industrial discharges, always use potable water.

* Fish that is less than 1/2 inch thick do not require turning when cooking.

* In order to retain its moisture, fish needs to be cooked quickly over high heat.
