  • Chef Saeng Douangdara and Texas dietitian Whitney Stuart said hot grill grates can make delicate fillets break apart, lose moisture and protein, and reduce omega-3s.
  • Stuart said high-heat charring can also create heterocyclic amines, while Douangdara advised whole fish, thick fillets only on very hot oiled grills, or using baskets.
  • Experts recommended foil packets, cedar planks or grill baskets to protect texture and nutrition, noting wild salmon, sardines and mackerel are richest in anti-inflammatory omega-3s.
