If by "heavy", you mean "greasy/oily" ... no, not near as much as batters can be.

I grew up eating fish rolled in yellow corn meal, because that's the way my Grandparents cooked it. Guess I'm just partial to eating it fixed that way.

If for some reason I do happen to want a little 'seasoning' added to my fish ... I use Southern Star Fish Fry Seasoning. I've even been known to mix the two 50/50, for a "very light" seasoned taste.
