WASHINGTON , May 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nothing says summer like grilling and backyard barbecues. Grilling seafood is not complicated and makes for an easy, healthy and delicious summertime meal that can be cooked in just a few minutes. So, what are the best types of seafood for grilling? Seafood Nutrition Partnership is sharing some fish grilling tips.

The smoky charm of being cooked over fire brings out the rich, yet delicate, flavors of seafood. Great options for grilling fish include salmon, snapper, tuna, trout, mahi mahi, swordfish, catfish and mackerel, and shellfish like scallops and shrimp. All of these stand up to the heat and taste delicious when grilled. Lighter, flakier fish like cod, tilapia and flounder are delicate, so it is best to use foil or a cedar plank to cook them.

As an added bonus, all the medium-to-fattier fish that do so well on the grill are also the ones with the most omega-3s – those essential fats reduce the risk of heart disease, depression, dementia, arthritis, and more. Prominent health organizations from the American Heart Association to the American Diabetes Association suggest eating a variety of seafood rich in omega-3s at least twice a week.

Here are some tips to successfully grill seafood and cook fish perfectly every time:
