Which grill to use?

Michael LaDuke here. I get a lot of questions about which type of grill to use at home for cooking seafood: gas, charcoal or wood. They each have some pretty solid points.

Gas is the most convenient. It’s the quickest, and easiest to clean up, but it does the least when it comes to flavor. If you use a gas grill, make sure it gets hot, and take good care of your grill grates so they stay clean.

Charcoal is a little more work, but gives good flavor. Just make sure you allow the charcoal to burn for a while and do not use too much starter fluid. All that fluid creates fumes that seep into the flavor of your food.

For the best flavor and grilling experience, I prefer wood. Nothing is better then cooking on a great wood fire. A nice hard wood like oak gives great flavor as do other woods like mesquite and citrus wood. Start the wood and allow it to burn until the flames reduce and the temperature is right.

So let me know what type of grill you will use for your Father’s Day Feast. Thanks for stopping by and keep the questions coming! And remember, Come See What’s Fresh Today at Red Lobster. Michael LaDuke
