Here are some guidelines to educate you on Direct grilling, grilling hygiene and to exploit the accessories available to make grilling fun and enjoyable.
Direct Grilling To grill fish, we would recommend swordfish or tuna for new beginners as they do not crumble nor break easily as compared to other fishes.
You can place them right on top of the fire but do take note of the fire because if the flame is too huge then it can easily over-cook the fishes hence keep watch of the flame.
Have the fire set ready first before placing the fish onto the grill itself.
Apply some olive oil to prevent it from staining or sticking onto the grill.
This can save the trouble when you want to clean the grill after using it.
The size of the fish should be at least 1 inch thick and wide enough to ensure it does not fall into the grill and get burnt.
To check if the fish has been cooked and ready for consumption, poke a fork into it and observe if there's any staining on the fork itself.

It can also prevent you from having diarrhoea or stomach flu caused by contaminated food or drink.
