Recently caught a bunch and I was curious as to how some of you cook yours. Any thoughts?

On the grill on the half shell

seasoned with a bit of garlic, salt and pepper, with some butter and citrus, throw whatever is available in the herb garden on top.

Depends on the fish and my mood. Grilled on the half shell, deep fried, pan fried, I've even made burgers.

Half-shell, old bay/or blackening seasoning, lemon juice, put thin sliced oranges on top, high heat until it flakes with a fork. Around 8 minutes. You're welcome.

Depends on the size of the fish. Rat reds I filet and pan sear. Bigger redfish (which I don't particularly care for) I'll half shell them on the pit.

Smoked, then use the Link tuna dip recipe for larger filets.

I like to blacken anything under 25 inches.

Grilled on the half shell

Scales down
Dust with favorite seasoning
Cost with olive oil/ dressing
Sliced lemons on top

Grill until the tails curl up, which is less than 10 minutes. Enjoy

Redfish Creole

Cook down tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic and top redfish while on grill once the meat starts to firm.

Filet, add Tony's and cavenders. Drop some olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Flip after a couple minutes and cook until done. Makes for some great fish tacos. I like to top with cilantro, plain Greek yogurt, and a mango salsa. I use corn tortillas

I do a modified version of half shell because for me the meat next to the scales is all blood which taste horrible.

I filet the meat off of the scales but leave a small thin sliver 1/8" or so on the scales, this is mostly blood.

Wash and pat dry the meat. Mix butter, lemon, garlic and whatever else makes you happy. Put skin on pit, scale side down and place a tablespoon of butter mix on sliver of meat. Place filet on top and add butter mix, now you have butter on both top and bottom of filet. Let cook until flaky and remove meat with a spatula.

Boil the whole filet in salt water with crab boil, not very long, few minutes at most, cool the filet down quickly and chill in fridge for a few hours. Separate the meat with a fork and use this in place of crabmeat in a crab au gratin or other casserole

I made some fish tacos the other night. Made a paste of ancho chile powder, black pepper, a little bit of salt, and olive oil. Rubbed that on both sides of a fat filet, then grilled it. After it was done, cut it into cubes and put it on corn tortillas with a mango avocado salsa I made. Freaking delicious.

It really was. The salsa is one avocado diced, one mango diced, about a quarter of a red onion minced, a jalapeño minced, juice of one lime, and about half a bunch of chopped cilantro. Sprinkle in a little salt, and you are good to go. Should be enough for two people to dress their tacos.
