Cedar Wrapped Fish Skewers

Cedar-wrapped fish skewers are easy to make and flavorful, too! White fish is delicious but delicate and prone to breaking on the grill. Wrapping it in cedar paper helps to prevent this while adding a subtle smoky flavor to the overall dish.

These white fish skewers are brushed with a little lemon, garlic, and olive oil, then nested into cedar paper, and grilled to perfection. Delicate and with a hint of smokiness, these fish skewers are the right choice for almost any occasion!

What are cedar wraps?

Cedar wraps are grilling papers made out of wood. They are pliable enough to wrap around the food and create the perfect barrier to intense heat. These grilling wraps infuse delicate items like fish with a hint of smoke flavor. In addition to cedar, these wraps are also available in maple or cherry wood. They are usually intended for one-time use only and should not be saved, cleaned, or reused.
