Title: Kettle fried fish
Post by: 1911Ron on August 31, 2014, 11:43:37 AM
I have some catfish from the store that is not breaded and i am thinking of breading it and doing it on the grill like i have seen for chicken. I'm thinking that this should be just like how kettle fried chicken is done, yes?

Any tips on how long it should go?

Lately, I've been experimenting with fried stuff using a CI pan on the kettle.
I haven't tried fish yet, but I want to.

Heat the oil, then toss in the fish. For fish, I wouldn't let it go longer than 3-4 minutes, max 5.

There is no right way or wrong way. Your options are limitless.
This particular time, it was wings after being smoked for over an hour. Wanted to add some crisp.

I'm guessing 20 minutes or less depending on thickness , the fish will be flaky with a fork but not falling apart ..if it was me and I wanted KFC like results I think Id brush the fish with butter to add some fat before I dredged  it ....catfish is a fatty fish but chicken is way fattier and IMO is why KFC  works so good , just a theory I have . Let me know and take some pics :) good luck
