KYE R. LEE / DMN The skin peels off easily after the fish is cooked.

If you've ever watched a fish fillet fall apart, slip through the grill and sizzle to a black chip on the coals below, take a tip from TJ's Fresh Seafood Market. To help your fish hold together, the Dallas market recommends keeping the skin on during cooking. The skin helps the fish retain oil, which keeps the flesh from drying out and provides nutrition. The skin can then be removed before serving.
