A home cook who relies too much on a recipe is sort of like a pilot who reads the plane's instruction manual while flying.
Alton BrownI grill almost all of my fish with the skin on because that gives you real protection at least on one side. It's a nice barrier against super high heat which tends to make a lot of fish to turn really flaky. It's very easy to overcook fish on the grill. But I still brush it with oil before I start.
