Keeping this in view, how do I keep my fish from falling apart?
- You don't need a nonstick pan.
- Make sure the fish is thoroughly dried before you put it in the pan.

- Place your "dried" fillets flat in the very hot pan.
- When the first side is done cooking, flip once, using a fish spat and your hand on the raw side.
Thereof, why does my fish stick to the grill?
Your grill isn't clean enough: Burned-on debris from previous grilling sessions creates a rough surface that fish will stick to. Your grill isn't hot enough: When it is, it will quickly cauterize the fish, which sets the proteins in the fish and prevents them from sticking to the grill.
