Ok, I read through the comments.

Andy, I have eaten Turtle.  Good stuff right there!  Haven't processed my own turtles, though.  Here in OK, you're allowed to keep 6 turtles / day, as long as they aren't a restricted species.

As far as grilling fish goes, you have to know how well the fish you are grilling will hold up on the grill.  Catfish fillets are about the only freshwater fish that will grill without falling apart, from my experience.  Any other fish, I would recommend wrapping the fillets or whole fish in foil, add a little butter, and whatever seasoning you would like.  Cook on the grill (or directly on the coals if you're camping) until done.  Times will vary according to the size and amount of fish in the packet.

BBQ Sauce and fish - Try this with grilled salmon!  Trust me!

Beer Batter - Take some flour, and mix enough beer into it to make a good batter.  Dredge fish in extra dry flour, then into the batter.  Fry until done.  Season with salt and pepper after frying.  Serve with a wedge of fresh lemon.  Two tips:
1)  The darker the beer, the stronger the taste of the batter.  Amber Bock is my "starting" point, and if I want stronger, go to a darker brew, like Guiness.

2)  The best salt for this might actually be "Popcorn Salt".  It's a regular salt, but very finely ground, almost a powder.  Look for this either with the other salts, or where ever your grocery store has the popcorn.  Pepper is always best freshly-ground.

Interesting idea, Andy, the barbeque sauce thing. I've marinated fish in A-1 and wing sauce, prior to breading for the deep fryer.
But never thought of bar-b-grilling.
