Can I use other types of fish instead of halibut?

You can definitely try alternatives! Halibut's mild flavor works great in tacos, but cod, grouper, or mahi-mahi make excellent substitutes. Each fish brings its unique texture and maintains that delicate taste you want.

How do I prevent my fish from sticking to the grill?

Success comes from good preparation. Clean and oil your grill thoroughly before cooking. Apply high-heat oil to both the grates and fish. The fish will release naturally from the grate when it's ready to flip.

What's the best way to warm tortillas for halibut tacos?

Two excellent choices await you. You can wrap them in foil and place them on the top rack while your fish cooks. Another option lets you char them directly on the grill for 30-60 seconds per side. Both methods create warm, pliable tortillas with amazing flavor.

How can I tell when my halibut is perfectly cooked?

The halibut should feel firm and flake easily with a fork. The best results come when the internal temperature hits 130-135°F. Look for fish that's opaque throughout but stays moist.

What's the best way to store leftover grilled halibut?

Your cooked halibut needs to be stored separately from the toppings in an airtight container. The fish stays fresh in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Gentle reheating helps maintain that perfect flaky texture.
