Haddock
- I prefer to use wild and sustainably raised haddock instead of farm-raised. Wild haddock is more delicious and flavorful and has a firm texture which makes it better for grilling. Frozen haddock is also used by defrosting it before use.
Olive oil
- It is used to rub oil on the fish and the grill gates.

TIPS
Room temperature

Seasoning
- I only add powdered pepper (black) and salt and toss it. You can use lemon pepper, Cajun spices, or Italian seasoning if you like to have more taste.
Marinade the fish
- Mix all the ingredients which include lemon juice, zest, Italian seasoning salt, garlic, and soy sauce, and marinate for twenty-five to thirty minutes. Don’t increase the time of the marination otherwise the fish will become mushy.
