Need outdoor grilled fish pictures

[Ashmont]

Looking at some sort of setup to mass grill (Not Deep Fry) Tillipia. Since I have a new fondness for fish taco's I have suggested that to the church picnic committee. I need to be able to grill them quickly.... Need to see a good setup.


Thanks

Ash, fish tacos for a picnic is a nice idea. However, grilling mass quantities of tilapia is troublesome. That fish cooks so fast that it will be hard to cook a lot of it. You're going to have to make sure you have plenty of "fishing turning" help to get it done and not overcooked.

I wish I could be of more help with set-ups and all. I'd love to see pictures of how it all comes out.

The other thing is to do them in the oven and then bring trays out as we need them.. Kinda like the idea of showing off outside but I need reality to sink in....

Larry's got a real good point there, Marty. In large quantities it could turn into a nightmare.
I'm leaning toward deep frying or maybe just as good a methof would be using a large griddle. As far as getting the grilled flavor in there, maybe you could make smaller grilled batches on the side and mix that in with the fried or griddled product.

I just love fish tacos..... I'm almost wondering if you would be better setting up a griddle or griddles on like a long gas grill like the ones you see for cooking lots of burgers. I'm saying this because on my grill I cook my fillets on aluminum foil and use a coating of panko for a super crispy coating.

I think the griddle or flat top is a much better way to go. If you don't catch the tilapia just as it's done the fish will flake apart and fall through even the smallest grates.

Make some giant fish baskets out of expanded steel. Seriously.

We used fish baskets at church. They were similar to the chicken baskets we used, but, with a smaller mesh and smaller overall size. We were able to do large amounts of any meat with these racks, some ends up over cooked, some a little under. They were simply rebar frames with a welded wire mesh, maybe 1" square, welded to the frames. The rebar was extended to form handles that allowed for flipping. They were hinged on one side.

3-4 mins a side. Can do the same with filets. Or smoked for Pate. for fish tacos I use the foil method and use the foil to help turn as well. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_X74TZ6CAtpA/TAVQLzplKLI/AAAAAAAABNk/ECagW13-Vyg/s800/CIMG1896.JPG

Reynolds makes a non stick foil called "Release". thats what I use on my gasser to grill walleye. works like a charm. grill has to be really hot and as others said , you will need lots of "flippers". I brush mine with melted butter then season to my liking.

I think Mark has it right, expanded metal baskets are the way to go here. They will hold the fish together and allow you to put them on, flip and remove all at the same time.
