For best results, use a good quality Italian-style dressing. Avoid overly sweet or creamy dressings. If you prefer a smokier flavor, add a few wood chips (hickory or mesquite) to your grill. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a fresh salad.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
48 hrs
Submerge the kingfish in a large container filled with cold water. Refrigerate for 48 hours, changing the water every 6 hours to draw out any strong flavors. (Time: 48 hours)
02
Step
2 hrs
Anywhere from 2 to 12 hours before grilling, drain the water completely. Immerse the fish in the Italian-style salad dressing, ensuring it's fully coated. (Time: 2-12 hours)
03
Step
5 mins
Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350-400°F or 175-200°C).
04
Step
2 mins
Remove the kingfish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the fish skin-side down directly onto the grill grates.
05
Step
20 mins
Grill until the meat is cooked through, tender, and flakes easily with a fork. This typically takes about 20 minutes, but grilling times may vary depending on the thickness of the fish and the heat of your grill. (Time: ~20 minutes)
