For best results, use fresh, high-quality fish. Do not over-marinate the fish, as the soy sauce can start to break down the delicate flesh. If you don't have bourbon whiskey, you can substitute it with apple juice or a similar non-alcoholic alternative for a slightly sweeter flavor profile. Ensure the grill is properly preheated before placing the fish on it to achieve beautiful grill marks and prevent sticking. A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice after grilling adds a bright, refreshing finish.
