Default Get me out of my grilled fish rut...

I almost always grill Salmon when I grill fish. Sometimes Tuna, but not
often.

What other kinds of fish are good on the grill?

I like salmon because I can get nice thick fillets, and cook them so they
are nice and crispy golden brown on the outside, while still being very
moist and tender inside. No doubt this is due to the high fat content.

What else do you guys suggest?

That's like asking othere than porterhouse what cut of beef is good on the
grill... can't think of any fish or beef cut can't be great grilled... makes
more sense for you to choose the fish and then ask for recipes describing how
to grill it. Otherwise there are enough different fish to keep you occupied
reading recipes 24/7 for the next 10 years.

lay down a long piece of "cling-wrap"

add your salmon, then some other piece of white-fish (flounder?)
Then ka-bob some scallops and put in the center.

Slowly, pull the 'cling-wrap' over fish fillets and the ka-bobs...
making a "roll"

pull out the ka-bob squire <sp>
Bake or grill as usual

The Good Eats show from five days ago says hi:

Fish Roll with Compound Butter Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
Show: Good Eats Episode: Fit to be Tied

Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Medium
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Yield: 9 servings

2 thin salmon fillets
3 flounder fillets
8 sea scallops
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper, for seasoning
Canola oil, for brushing

Compound Butter:
4 ounces butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1 teaspoon dry parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

On your counter top lay out a sheet of parchment paper and top it with
a layer of plastic wrap.
Lay out your fillets of salmon, tails away from you. Overlap the
fillets of flounder about 1-inch over the tails of the salmon. Then place
the scallops on a metal skewer and set at the end of the flounder furthest
from you. Sprinkle the herbs over the fish and season with salt and pepper.
Using the plastic wrap pull the fish towards you so that the plastic
begins to pull the flounder over the scallops. Be sure not to roll the
plastic into the fish roll. Use a sheet pan to push the roll tightly as you
pull the plastic toward you. The roll should be tight and you should be able
to remove the sheet of plastic. Then roll the fish in the parchment away
from you so it is covered and can be place into the refrigerator.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.
For Compound Butter: In a large bowl using a wooden spoon mix all
ingredients. Place the mixture on a piece of parchment and fold the
parchment over itself. Pull to form a roll and twist the ends. Place in the
freezer for 10 minutes to set up. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds and remove the
parchment.
Preheat your broiler and place the oven rack 6-inches from the heating
element.
Remove the metal skewer and slice the roulade into 3/4 to 1-inch
rounds. Place onto a broiler pan and brush each round with canola oil. Put
under the broiler for 3 to 6 minutes depending on how well done you like
your fish.
Serve with 1 slice of compound butter on each fish roll.

Pretty much all of the sustainably harvested seafood is good on the grill
(adjusting your technique of course for thick vs thin, whole vs fillet,
etc.):

Thin, flakey white fish would fall apart, tho. I know that you like to
use a grill to steam fish inside leaves, but I'm talkin about grilling
here. High direct heat, heavy cast iron grate - the real thing.

IMHO

No great secrets here, virtually all oily fish will grill okay. Others tend
to dry out too much due to high heats involved unless they are thin enough
to cook properly very quickly and well lubricated with butter / oil oin
which case they're often better steamed or poached.

That's my experience as well. I was thinking in terms of Red Snapper,
but was unsure of the oilyness.

I've done whole rainbow trout, butterflied, and had good results. But it
was a huge challenge to keep them moist. Not that I don't enjoy a
grilling challenge

The most delicious fish I've ever done was some ultra-fresh swordfish,
using embers from some alder wood. Swordfish can dry out too.

I'll give Halibut a try, but I'm sceptical as to whether it is oily
enough.
