I haven’t made fish in a while and it is one of those foods that you need to get just right. Things definitely go south if you cook fish for one minute too long. I don’t have a kitchen thermometer and I really should. I’m sure this would help me create perfection with cooking fish. I picked up 2 pieces of wild caught Mahi Mahi and used the grill to come up with my creation from last night. I love grilling in the summertime. The dishes are pretty much slim to none, except the ones you eat off of, which makes cleanup a breeze for Joe. He is the clean up crew when I am cooking!
