I tried doing catfish that was breaded and then done on the grate. I lit two baskets of lump, once lit i pushed them apart and put a drip pan in. I dredged them in a egg and Soy milk wash (lactose intolerent) with some Siracha then into the breading. Once that was done on to the grill!

Lessons learned, i think i should have oiled the grates as i lost some breading to the charcoal gods. I'm not sure if i should have did it direct first to set the breading then indirect after?
They tasted good, not really sure what i was expecting on the breading it wasn't crispy. Not a failure but not a success.
Looks tasty!
To crisp up breading I melt a little butter and mix it with some olive oil. Then towards the end of the cook I brush breaded pieces with this mixture and go direct over high heat coals. Be sure not burn it a lot(keep turning) and go till breading is to your liking of how crispy it is.

Interesting thanks!
Were you trying to avoid frying? I know some do a quick dip in oil to crisp, then finish cooking n the grill.
Wait.....I may be wrong. Is that only good with chicken?

That might be a real good way to go about fish pieces......Maybe wok 'em at the end to crisp?
Still a pretty good cookup, Ron.....a little loss of breading on the play.....not so bad !!!

I have seen some here do chicken this way (breaded and done on the grill) and decided to try it with fish, what could go wrong! ;D ;D
