In one of my first videos I demonstrated an easy way to cook your catch. I called it grillfrying because it was a combination of both grilling and frying. It’s one of my favorites. Let’s try to catch some bluegill and then grill fry them. See the recipe and music credits below:

Recipe for Grill Fried Bluegill

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pound of bluegill or other white fleshed fish fillets (crappie tend to fall apart)
1 large egg
1 can of evaporated milk
1 cup of fish breading (Eg. Zatarains, Shore Lunch, Louisiana, etc.)
1 stick (4 ounces) butter

Directions:
In a container, whisk an egg, then add evaporated milk and whisk thoroughly.
Put fish fillets in the container and submerge them in the milk.
Keep the container in refrigerator.
Add two layers of foil to grill. Make sure to allow enough air for the grill to stay lit. Lightly butter or spray the foil with cooking spray (I skipped this step but probably shouldn't have).
Heat the grill to about 375° F (190° C).
Lay the fillets down on foil and generously brush them with butter.
Close lid and cook for 4 minutes.
Open lid, flip the fillets, and generously butter the other sides.
Close lid and allow fish to cook for 4 more minutes, no longer.

The background music is titled “Bill Cheatham.” It was performed by “Shake that Little Foot string band.” It was downloaded from archive.org. There it was incorrectly labeled “Bill Cheathum.” It carries a Creative Commons license: AttributionNonCommercialShareAlike. I was able to find this about the song:

“Although this tune is of nineteenth century origin, much of its current popularity is due to its frequent performance by the late Arthur Smith, a Grand Ole Opry star of the 1930s and early 1940s.”
