Crispy Skinned Fish (Whole) - Using the Small Grate Technique
« on: November 29, 2018, 09:25:59 PM »


We love asian style fried fish, but it's such a pain to make.

Traditional grilling methods just don't get the skin crispy enough, so I started using this method to grill fish and get a super crispy skin.

Enjoy!

Hi Troy,

The technique makes sense to me. I'll give that a try.
The skin of the fish looks awesome.

Thx for sharing

This is great. I have very limited seafood cooking knowledge.  Maybe I can find some fish at the local Costco that will work for this.

That's a cool technique.  I've had the same problem with fish...skin never seems to get crispy enough with the grate up high

Do you use patis and calamansi on the salsa?

Crusty/crispy skin will depend on the type of fish. Pompano is a fish you can easily get a crispy skin when grilled.  I grill it at least once a week for my wife. Very high temperature on the rotisserie or indirect/semi-direct on the grate always yield a crispy skin. She doesn't like a smokey flavor so i stopped cooking it caveman style.

Only whole fish you'll find at Costco is probably trout.

I do if I have calamansi available. I don't go out of my way to buy it or keep juice on hand though.
patis and silver swan soy sauce

Same here. Sometimes i just use lemon or lime. Best soy sauce are those from Taiwan and patis from Vietnam. Virgin patis from Vietnam especially for dipping are exceptional. Pricey at $8 a bottle but it's fine since you really don't use much of it. For cooking, you can get away with the cheaper varieties.

Sometimes they have some different whole fish. I can’t remember which kinds. I just look at them like I’m trying to read a foreign language. I have no idea about cooking whole fish.
