- Special tools: A grill basket makes this super easy, without any worry of the fish sticking to the grates or having trouble flipping it. You can also make a DIY foil platter. Fold up the edges of the foil and be sure to put some olive oil or butter on the skin side so that you can easily flip the fish over. I also love using my olive oil spritzer to coat the fillets.
