For best results, use a good quality Italian-style dressing. Avoid overly sweet or creamy dressings.
If you prefer a smokier flavor, add a few wood chips (hickory or mesquite) to your grill.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice pilaf, or a fresh salad.

    I was skeptical about the salad dressing marinade, but it turned out amazing! The fish was so moist and flavorful.

    The soaking in water trick really works! My family usually doesn't like kingfish, but they loved this recipe.
