Once you know how to barbecue fish the correct way you'll love cooking and eating fish and seafood on the BBQ. Easy to cook when you know how, get out that BBQ and let's get cooking.

First off, the best type of fish to cook on a barbeque is firm textured fish and seafood such as salmon, cod, monkfish, shrimp or lobster. Hopefully as long as you've prepared the barbeque properly it won't fall apart -
Top Tips for Barbequeing Fish Make sure that the rungs on the grill are clean. There's nothing worse than old bits of food burnt on the grill bars, not only does it leave a horrible taste but it will make the fish stick.
Get that barbeque really hot. If using a charcoal grill, use plenty of charcoal to build a really good fire that will retain plenty of heat.
Let the flames die down until you can see that the charcoal has become white, it should take at least ½ hour - this is where many people make a critical mistake. You know what they say - Patience is a Virtue - or in this case Patience will help you cook food that you can eat, not the usual burnt offerings!
As long as the fish (or any seafood or meat) is well oiled it won't stick. Of course, it helps if you don't prod it and move it around every 30 seconds, if you do you'll end up with scrambled fish which isn't much use to anyone except the cat.
Wait until the flesh is seared before turning it over.
Only turn it over once. The best utensil for this is a wide, thin spatula, big enough to lift the whole salmon or fillet in one go. An alternative is to buy a grill cage, the fish sits inside it and makes the whole turning over process child's play.
Don't salt anything before grilling. This will dry the fish out.
If you're using a traditional Chargrill a good idea is to use herbs or flavoured wood chips thrown on the charcoal to impart additional flavour.
Flavour Tip Barbeque rubs or marinades impart a delicious extra flavour when cooking your barbeque fish. I also like to paint some Thai sweet chili sauce over the fish before barbequeing, this is especially good with large prawn and shrimp and can be purchased at any good supermarket. These easy and simple ideas can help anyone learn how to cook fish on a barbeque.
You would think that a Fitted Kitchen will cost pretty much the same throughout the year, and to a certain extent you would be correct. However despite the seemingly endless "Sales" there are definitely better times to buy Fitted Kitchens.
The best time to buy kitchens is... when they want your business most!
The whole UK fitted kitchen industry revolves around four "Sale" periods as follows:
Period 1.
January - Winter Sale starting Boxing Day - must end last weekend in Janruary
February - Winter Sale magically extends to the end of February
March - No promotions. (Goods have to be shown at "full" price for 28 days before being discounted)
Period 2.
April - Spring Sale starts - coincides with Easter and additional Bank Holiday "specials"
May - Spring Sale magically extends to the end of May
June - No promotions. (Goods have to be shown at "full" price for 28 days before being discounted)
Period 3.
July - Summer Sale starts - must end last weekend in June
August - Summer Sale magically extends to the end of August (Usually the August Bank Holiday weekend)
September - No promotions. (Goods have to be shown at "full" price for 28 days before being discounted)
Period 4.
October - Autumn Sale starts - must end last weekend in October
November - Autumn Sale magically extends to the end of November (to capture the last "fits" before Christmas)
December - No promotions. (Goods have to be shown at "full" price for 28 days before being discounted)
Which brings us full circle back to the next Winter Sale - which will start on Boxing Day.
It is worth noting that December is the month that most kitchen retailers increase their prices (by 3 to 4%)
So, armed with the information above we can deduce when they want our business the most, and therefore... the best time to buy Fitted Kitchens.
These are all good times to buy, but b&q Chelmsford if you want the best possible deal on your new kitchen...
Buy your kitchen in "Non Sale" periods ... why?
So we say the best time to buy kitchens is... when they want your business most!
And that time is... when they are not expecting it to fall into their laps, and it leads to a unexpected bonus!
The very best time of all being... two weeks before Christmas - when no-one else is buying Fitted Kitchens!
