Catch of the Day

WHICH FISH DO YOU FANCY?

These fish have firm flesh that won't fall apart on the grill and they're available in steaks or thick fillets perfect for the EGG's high heat.

SALMON

Salmon has a fresh ocean flavor that pairs well with both salty and sweet seasonings, making it a popular option for direct grilling or smoking on a wood plank.

TUNA

Tuna provides a mild fish flavor while having a beef-like texture when cooked on the grill. They are often cooked medium rare as steaks with simple salt and pepper seasoning.

TILAPIA

Tilapia is an inexpensive, mild-flavored, freshwater fish packed with protein and the perfect blank slate for a wide variety of seasonings. Our favorite combo to pair with Tilapia is lemon and pepper.

HALIBUT

Halibut is a medium-firm white fish so you don’t have to worry about it falling apart on the grill mid-cook. Even better, its tender texture and delicate fish flavor pair well with bold seasonings and marinades.
