To cook by direct grill method
Place fish steaks on a greased grill rack or in a grill basket. Grill on an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork (allow 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2 inch of thickness). If the fish is more than 1 inch thick, gently turn it halfway through grilling.

To broil
Place fish on the greased rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2 inch of thickness. If fish is more than 1 inch thick, gently turn it halfway through broiling.
