      I’m in North Dallas, TX .. so I’ve got a while left of great grilling season! 🙂 When you grill fish … do you have something special you put it on .. to keep it from flaking all apart?! Please let me know how you do it! 🙂

      @Sandra, Tonight I just sprayed the grill down with Pam Grilling. The put the fish right on. 1 of the fillets that was thinner stuck to the grill, but the others did fine. You could wrap them in foil and grill them in a foil packet to avoid the mess and any flaking.
