- Comments: I just found some incredibly sweet white nectarines and perfectly ripe Bing cherries at one of the Sacramento, California farmer's markets. The nectarines were sweet as candy! I used a fair amount of fresh lemon and lime juices to balance the natural sweetness of the fruit. You may want to use add in a little at a time till you've got the flavor where you want it.
- If your halibut has a habit of sticking to the grill, it's a good idea to leave the skin on while cooking and then remove the skin before serving. For best grilling results, spray some pan spray on the grates before lighting, set skin-side down on grates and do not flip it unless you're sure it will work. Close the lid on the 'cue and the fish will cook throughout.
