    I do catfish all the time. Coat with Italian dressing, generous dusting with John Henry’s lemon pepper and on the egg indirect at 375 till done. If your grate is super clean the fish won’t stick if not I put a layer of lime slices under the filets and it works great. Be careful with how much smoke you use cause the fish really absorbs. Sorry about no pictures of cook, just never figured out how to do that. Good luck.

    tuna is about the easiest fish cook, just need a hot grill and dont cook it too long

    This got me to thinking. I just recieved a whole gallon of crappie filets from a guy I coach with. He suggested that I blacken them on the egg with my favorite seasononings. He also said they are very good if they are cooked in butter with garlic/rosemary/lemon @ 350 in the oven(boo he dont have an egg)
    Hope this helps.

    There are lots of ways to cook fish on the Egg. Here are a couple that we did:

    This first one was an Eggspirment in 'steaming' the fish. It actually showed up on the CNN article about Eggheads.

    This one was when Frank In Houma (now Frank From Houma) brought some redfish and speckled trout to the Coop and then show us how to blacken them.

    This one is by Misippi Egger. I just put it to video for him.

    Hope this gives you some ideas.

    You can always grill fish on a cedar plank. That technique works well with other types of fish besides salmon. Before I got my egg, I had done some cedar planked red snapper that was fantastic. I wrote down the recipe at home but I don't have it with me. I remember that I used lemon slices & fresh dill on the fish, but I also made a sauce/glaze that had chipotle mustard, lemon juice, & honey along with a few other ingredients and it was really great. The fish picked up some sweetness on the bottom of the filet from the cedar plank, and there was some tangy flavor on the top from the glaze giving it a nice contrast in flavors.

    I sear tuna steaks often. I buy them individually quick frozen from Sams Club, and they are delicious and very affordable (approx 5.50$ / lb). I am an avid saltwater fisherman, and I can DEFINATELY tell if fish has been frozen, and I cannot tell the difference between fresh yellowfin and the yellowfin I get IQF'ed from Sams Club (yellowfin = ahi). Let them get to room temp, 90 seconds on a side and they are awesome. I marinade them in a wasabi / garlic / soy concoction that i just toss together.

    I also am a BIG fan of the marinated salmon filets from sams club, also IQF'ed, the marinade is DELICIOUS. and so is the salmon. That is also around $5.50 a lb.

    Halibut is a big favorite over here, cooked the same way as salmon, skin down until abotu 120deg internal, then i flip for the last 20degrees.

    Any other fish I usually grill on some foil, as they are pretty delicate. I eat a metric ton of flounder and black seabass, but they are SUPER delicate if they are skinned.
