Is it better to grill or bake fish?

Baking is a dry heat method that involves cooking fish in an oven. Some studies have shown that baking fish causes less loss of omega-3 fatty acids than both frying and microwaving (39, 46 , 47 ). Baking may also be a better way to retain the vitamin D content of fish.

How do you keep fish moist on the grill?

Why do you cook fish on a cedar plank?
