NB - Fish sticking to grill

[Firebird]

Hi guys, just bought an 850 and tried smoking fish last night and found they all stuck to the grills.

Would appreciate any advice on how to stop this from happening.

I would use grill planks

Anytime I did smoked salmon and steelhead we used high temp cooking spray on the grates before we put the fish on. We were using those bullet looking charcoal water smokers. Same kind of concept tho.

I use either some Pam sprayed foil or parchment paper underneath.

Use high heat oil spray for grills. Works great

I have been using grill mats for several years. They work great and they are easy to clean.

Hi Firebird, was your fish filleted and skinned? Grill mats, parchment paper and planks... Planks sounds real good! I have used citrus rounds with fresh thyme or dill placed on top, then the fish fillet. But I smoke a lot of Mahi, Kingfish and Amberjack shoulder for making smoked fish spread. For this type of recipe skin on is the way to go.
