How do I keep fish from sticking to the grill?

1)
Oil the food, not the grill.

A little bit of exta virgin olive oil applied to the fish right before grilling will help.

2)
Extra hot grill. Heat your bbq up to at least 500. Then, when you put the fish on the grill, turn it down. This will quickly sear the fish where it touches the grill and seal it up.

3)
Cook your fish on a ceader or cherry wood plank. This will create a bit of smoke for flavour and while the wood is exposed to the bbq, it will release natural woody oils that will help the fish not to stick

Some folks cook with foil in the same way but personally, I find that the fish sticks to the foil too.

4)
Don't turn the fish. Use the power of convection to cook your fish all the way through. If you have a 3 burner bbq, turn 2 of the burners off (front and back) and place the fish in the middle so that it will cook evenly without having to touch it.

5)
Pre-cook the fish in the oven.
This isn't really all that great of a suggestion, but if you pre-cook the fish in the oven and finish it off quickly on the bbq, you'll get all of the bbq grill marks with none of the bbq flavor.

Good Luck BBQ'in the fish!

Any time I use the grill, for any type of meat, I brush on olive oil on the grill, after it's heated up and before I place my meat on the grill.

That's a good tip, looster and one that I was told too. But then my obsession with the Food Network (porn for people like me) led me to understand that coating the food with oil rather than the grill surface was key.
