There’s something about cooking outside that just makes everything taste better — and fish is no exception. If you’ve never tried barbecuing seafood, you’re seriously missing out. It’s quick, easy, and one of the tastiest ways to enjoy the wild-caught, fresh-to-order fish we’re proud to deliver nationwide.
Here at Hamilton’s Fish, we’ve been sourcing and preparing top-quality seafood for over 40 years. We’re a family-run, award-winning business, and unlike most suppliers, we don’t hold stock — every order is freshly prepared based on the delivery day you choose.
So whether you’re planning a laid-back garden get-together or a proper weekend feast, here are some of our favourite BBQ-ready fish and how to cook them.
🐟 Whole Sea Bass – A Showstopper on the Grill
Whole fish might look impressive, but it’s surprisingly easy to cook on the barbecue — and Sea Bass is a great place to start. Stuff it with herbs and lemon, wrap it in foil (or cook it straight on the bars if you’re feeling confident), and let the smoky flavour work its magic.

🍢 Skewer It Up – Monkfish or Salmon Kebabs
Firm fish like Monkfish or Loch Duart Salmon hold their shape brilliantly on skewers. Cube it, thread it with colourful veg, and brush with a marinade or a squeeze of lemon. It’s BBQ simplicity at its finest — and a real crowd-pleaser.

🦀 Smoked King Prawns – BBQ Favourite, No Prep Needed
We’ve done the hard work for you here. Our Smoked King Prawns are already packed with flavour — just toss them on the grill to warm through and let the smoke intensify. Serve them with a squeeze of lime and a cold drink. You’re welcome.
Note: These beauties may arrive defrosted and should be eaten within 3 days once defrosted — so plan your BBQ accordingly!
🐠 Flat Fish on the Fire – Dover Sole or Brill
Flat fish like Brill and Dover Sole are naturally suited to the grill. Their firm texture means they hold together well, and the skin crisps up beautifully. Light seasoning is all you need — let the fish do the talking.
👉 Order Dover Sole
👉 Shop Brill Fillets
💡 BBQ Tips for Cooking Fish Outdoors
Oil your grill bars before cooking to stop the fish sticking
Keep the skin on — it protects the flesh and adds loads of flavour
Don’t overdo it — fish cooks fast! A few minutes per side is often all you need
Use a fish basket or foil if you’re cooking delicate fillets
