Grilled Kingfish with Jicama Slaw

 Kingfish is a lean and full flavored dark meat fish. It is best to grill when filleted and the dark meat trimmed off, although it can be grilled when steaked into 1 or 1 1/2 inch thick steaks. It is recommended to use a fish or hamburger basket when using this recipe, which eases the flipping process.

 Prep Time: 35 minutes             Marinade Time: 1-2 hours               Cook Time: 12 minutes
