Cooking fish on the egg? Catfish,cod flaky type fish

Captainjimpark · January 2018

good morning everyone
whats the best way to cook flakier type fish on the egg? Salmon is a little firmer and I’ve had good luck grilling it but catfish or cod may be a little tougher to keep together,anyone using those fish baskets?

Last time I did some Crappie I used a cedar plank and then pan fried in cast iron. Depending on if your willing to cut the handle of your skilled. I took new age lodge I think it was a 12 but had to trim the handle which is now just a nub.

This is on the medium and the lid wouldn't quite shut.

I use one layer of HD aluminum foil for most fish. Cured salmon for smoking or skin-on salmon for grilling goes directly on the grille. Fish baskets work nice for flaky fish too.

There are options at Lodge that don't require removing handles.

I use a CI skillet a lot of times when I blacken fish, still have enough room on the large to grill up some tortillas for tacos!

I would also consider a cast iron skillet as the best way to cook a flaky fish. The thinner the filet, the hotter the pan. Brown one side. One flip. Done. Happy cookin'! Chris
