Grilling Pacific Whiting can be a breeze with the right techniques. Here’s how to grill this delicate fish for delicious results every time.
A hot, well-oiled grill is crucial to prevent the fish from sticking and to ensure even cooking. Preheat your grill to medium-high (around 400°F) and oil the grates thoroughly.

Grilling Tip: Remove the fish just before it hits 145°F as it will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the grill.
