Grilling Suggestions

Click image for pdf

It's grilling season, and we've curated a list of exceptional seafood options that are perfect for your summer menus. Grilling brings out incredible flavors, offers versatility in preparation, and allows you to capitalize on the freshest seasonal ingredients. We've highlighted a few standouts from our Seafood Grilling Suggestions Sheet that are sure to impress your diners and elevate your offerings.

For a show-stopping appetizer or a vibrant main, consider our U/6 Head On Skull Island Prawns (OTH007). These substantial prawns are incredibly versatile and visually stunning when grilled. Simply marinate them lightly with herbs, garlic, and citrus, then grill until they're perfectly charred and opaque. The head-on presentation adds a touch of elegance and helps retain moisture, while the grilling process imparts a beautiful smokiness that enhances their natural sweetness. Another excellent choice is our Half Mooncut Swordfish Loin (SWL294). Its firm, meaty texture holds up exceptionally well on the grill, making it ideal for substantial entrees. A quick sear on each side creates a delicious crust while keeping the interior moist and flaky. Serve it with a vibrant salsa or a simple lemon-herb butter to let the natural flavors shine. Finally, don't overlook the potential of our Skinny Dipper Oysters (OYS200). Grilling oysters brings a unique dimension to this classic shellfish. A quick grill opens the shells and imparts a subtle smoky flavor, making them perfect for serving with compound butters or a mignonette.

Grilling seafood not only expands your menu possibilities but also enhances customer satisfaction. The char and smoky notes from the grill offer a unique depth of flavor that can't be achieved with other cooking methods. This allows you to create distinctive dishes that highlight the seasonality of ingredients, keeping your offerings fresh and exciting. From the dramatic presentation of grilled head-on prawns to the satisfying sear on a swordfish loin, grilling elevates the dining experience and provides the diverse, appealing options today's diners crave.
