Suggestions for Grilling Dolphin Fish?
I brought a few fillets of dolphin fish (dorado..) back and want to grill it. I would appreciate some suggestions on how to marinade it, how long to
cook on the grill, etc. Fillets are approx 3/4 inch thick. I am sure a lot of you have great recipes. Please pass on or two on to me as I want to
impress the in-laws tomorrow!! jon

Experiment! the flavor of the meat is so delicate that salt and pepper will give you the most real flavor of the true flavor of the meat. That being
said, my personal quicky favorate marinade is some good Italian dressing (Bersteins or equivalent) and let the fillets rest in the refer for an
hour(mas o menus) then grill hot and fast. shishimi style (raw) w/wasabi and soy sause is always the best when fish has been kept VERY cold and not
more than 3 days old. Dorado Vericruz is always a crowd pleaser. It is my favorite gtrlled fish ( whats not to like?) I feel it's one of the most
versitile' flavorfull fish in the ocean. Google it and see all the hits for recipies...and just go for it

Try this,
Rub with olive oil, throw on the grill. At 3/4 of an inch thick maybe 90 seconds per side (don't over cook). Sprinkle with Tony Chachere's original
seasoning after the flip. Use it like you would salt, when salty enough it is seasoned right. Add a pat of Real butter and serve.
Ummm Good!

Suggestions for dorado
I sauteed some dorado this evening in olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper for just a few minutes. I also marinated some sliced cherry tomatoes in
salt, cracked pepper, olive oil, cilantro, and dried chipoltle powder. Next combined the fish and tomato mixture for tacos....yum!
Bon appetite.

Try it with a little mango salsa. If your not still in Baja and mangos aren't available peaches are a good substitute.

Not weird to us! We LOVE to grill fish in Mayo. The boys at the Diaz cleaning table turned us on to that trick.

Always overcooking fish
Woody...I always over cook fish when I grill it. Is 90 seconds for a 1" fillet about right per side? I know it depends on a lot of factors and is prob
an impossible question. I will try it and see how it ends up.

No more than 90 seconds. Really just 'threaten' the fillet with some heat and you'll be good.
Regarding mayo and grilled fish....It's awesome. Back in the great northwest we use mayo and dill on salmon regularly. Good stuff. Here in Baja I've
taken a shine to mayo mixed with Salsa Huichol and some lime juice.
Provecho!

Great. You are dealing with a person whose screen name should be Carbon Man when it comes to grilling! I have several fillets so I will try a little
something different on them. the mayo idea sounds weird..but I will try it as well!

Try marinateing the filets in pineapple juice and teriaki for a couple hours, grill, serve with a mango salsa. The southbeach bar and grill in O.B
prepares it that way.

To "echo" Woody's advice, be sure to get them off the grill before you think they're done. Keep in mind that even if the filets are off the heat, they
are still cooking.
And speaking of mayonaise, have you tried Trader Joe's Wasabi Mayonaise?

i am in favor of undercooking any seafood. if it's good raw, just a quick flame will do, more for texture than anything else. you don't want it to dry
out (happens very fast!).

I love that stuff! Has quite a kick.
After I eat a couple of traditional fish tacos, I use it as a condiment for making a non-traditional fish taco.
I never finish anyth

Had the BBQ yesterday. The verdict: Aha Baja..yours was a favorite. It was not Berstein's but another quality brand. It was AWESOME! The pineapple
idea was good as well.
90 seconds on the grill? Nah...too raw. I upped it to 4 minutes per side and it was just right.
Yakfishing (or anyone else)....can u suggest how to make the perfect fish taco? I use a toasted corn tortilla, white cabbage cilantro and the fish.
How do I make the perfect sauce?????

It would be real hard to mess-up a batch of Dorado filets. They're good any way you fix 'em. The less you cook 'em the better they are.

All good suggestions. A few of mine.
I like to leave skin on a fillet when I grill them. Even if you don't like to eat the skin, I do, it will help keep the fish moist.
I use the Oil and Vinegar marinade as well. It does two things, it adds the acidity to the fish (vinegar, lime, orange, and/or lemon) and the oil
helps prevent the fish from sticking to the grill.
