Anyone got a good recipe? I've got loads of fillets I need to cook every which way possible.

I make it about once a month with catfish. I'm sure it works with Redfish. Get a big pot, preferably cast iron.

Make a roux...medium darkness, like mahogany.

When the roux is done add veggies:
a large chopped onion or 2 medium sized
2 or 3 stalks of chopped celery
chopped green onions
a chopped red bell pepper
lots of garlic..I use 1/4 cup of minced.

Let that stuff sizzle while stirring.

Fish...cut it into bite size pieces and set aside. You don't want to overcook fish.

Liquid/Stock... I use shrimp stock from previous boilings. I've also used chicken stock with good results. Tomato sauce is key. Add one can first to check for thickness.

After liquid incorporates with veggies, add fish and cover...lower heat and let simmer. Don't forget to stir frequently. After 15 minutes of simmering check for taste.

This is when I add cayenne, herbs to taste and add another can of tomato sauce if needed. Goes great with French Bread.

Remember, this is not dry fresh garlic. I use the minced in a jar of liquid. Ya gotta use a lot.
