Preacher needs a good recipe for Red Fish— Backed- Fried-Seasoning etc—Thanks
Pretty much this is my favorite way. I brush side of the fillets with melted butter and lay the Creole seasoning to it and throw that side down in the pan. While the first side is cooking, brush the tops with melted butter and hit with Creole seasoning, then flip. Good stuff.Cut the red strip of meat out. Season with Tony Chacheres creole seasoning but be careful not to over do it, its strong. Cook it in a really hot cast iron skillet for a few minutes each side depending on thickness of the fillet. I cook mine on a Coleman stove outside. By far my favorite way to cook Reds, Black drum, trout or flounder. You could put a filet cooked this way on top of your head and your tongue would beat your brains out trying to get to it!
^this^!!Pretty much what they said except I use redfish magic for my seasoning and I melt butter and dip the filet in the butter before putting it the hot cast iron skillet. Then I squeeze lemon juice on the filets while cooking. Making myself hungry talking about it!
If I'm blackening anything.. Mrs. Slayer makes me go outside to do it..go ahead and take the battery out of the smoke detector.
Sprinkle with Wilkes seasoning and grill 3 minutes per side over lump charcoal with domed lid of my el cheapo brinkman smoke n grill covering it. Toss a little piece of damp red oak in the coals.
Love it blackened
