What is raddah i had grilled fish in Egypt and ask how they cooked said cover it with put on the grill so what English?

The cooking method you described is called "Raddah." It's a technique commonly used in Egyptian cuisine, where fish or other ingredients are covered with a layer of flavorful ingredients before being grilled. Rad means layer so food in layers is how the word came about.

It involves seasoning the fish or other ingredient, then covering it with a mixture of herbs, spices, and sometimes vegetables, and then cooking it over an open flame or grill. This method infuses the dish with a rich and complex flavor, and the covering also helps to keep the ingredients moist during the grilling process.

In your case, when you had grilled fish in Egypt and asked how it was cooked, and they told you to cover it with something and put it on the grill, they were referring to the "Raddah" technique.
