Guys we hammered the reds, bass, and trout this weekend in Venice. What is the best way to prepare redfish on the halfshell for the pit please offer opinions?

Opinion on cooking time? I do it, but generally fish bass tournaments and hardly ever keep anything and if I do I fry it. Have an opinion on knowing when it is done so I don't over do?

I actually bake mine, pit is too much trouble for me. I would just test it with a fork by stabbing and trying to lift/separate the fish. If it separates easily, it's done. Time it.

Cool thanks for your time.

put it on the pit scale down and lightly sprinkle with tonys or drizzle with lemon juice. Go light on the seasoning.
when the meat flakes easily with a fork it is done. remove and eat.

REDFISH ON HALFSHELL
6-10 Fillets with skin and scales intact
Pat dry and apply a few drops of Tobasco to meat
In a saucepan, melt 1/2 stick of butter
2 cups Italian dressing
1 cup Thousand Island dressing
1 8 oz bottle of Tiger Sauce
1 tablespoon Tony's or Slap-yo-momma seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Have grill hot and place halfshells on Pam-ed (cooking spray) grill SKIN SIDE DOWN. Sprinkle generously with Italian bread crumbs. Spoon mixture of the sauce or use large turkey baster. Cook with lid closed for about 6-8 minutes or until fork is inserted in the thickest part of the fish can twist meat apart. DO NO OVERCOOK. Serve with skin and scales still attached and just eat off of skin

Fresh fish should be kept as simple as possible. Whatever YOUR favorite seasoning is should be sprinkled on top. Drizzle some olive oil on and cook until the half shell begins to shrink. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on and enjoy.

season lightly with a mix or season-all. spread a little butter on the slabs. place scales down on ready pit, or grill. right before they're done, baste with Pig Stand or Jack Miller's BBQ sauce. let that cook for 4 or 5 minutes. peel off the scales good!

Usually put a few pats of butter on the fish while grilling, squeeze some fresh lemon, place some lemon slices on there to cook with, tiny sprinkle of salt

Italian dressing plus anything else you want to pit on it.
I also use a Cajun injector to inject seasonings right to the layer between the meat And the skin.

I usually put some olive oil, salt, pepper and some herbs of your choice. I have eaten it with just italian dressing as well.

I melted a stick of butter and added a little white wine, garlic, and Tony's more seasoning which I also find has less sodium. I seasoned the meat with a touch of salt, pepper, and generous sprinkling of Prudhomme's Seafood Magic. Cooked on the pit for 45 minutes medium heat and brushed butter concoction while cooking. It exceeded my expectations and can't wait to do it again. We had cabbage and asparagus wrapped in bacon on the side which I found to be a nice pairing. Anyway thanks guys it was great.

And lemon very important very good that is all good day.

quote:This. Add a little butter to the recipe, too. Score the meat about 1/2 inch deep several times. Cook until the flesh is opaque and the filet will sort of "puff". Err on the side of undercooking...you can always put it back on the fire a bit more.

I usually do something like this:
In a skillet mix the following and sautee:
one stick of butter
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red pepper flake
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 cup of minced parsley
1 teaspoon liquid crab boil
1/4 cup of Tiger Sauce
1 tablespoon molasses
1 cup minced onion
1/4 minced fennel leaf
1/4 cup Basalmic Vinegar
Once everything is sauteed and cooled I pour the mixture over the fish fillets and allow it to sit until the butter begins to solidify. On a hot grill I place them fish side down just long enough to crisp it up (do not let it stick) and then flip it over and place it on a cedar plank. Note: I find that by making a small incision on each end keeps the fish from curling up... Cook until done..(i.e. the fish flakes with a fork)..
Hope this helps you some...

This, The simpler the better, I sprinkles some tonys, olive oil, and lemon on some last week for a bunch of people. I put on the grill, and everyone was wanting to know what I did. Of course, I explained how difficult it was

i use olive oil ,lemon and melted butter and white pepper and capers. if the fish is a 2 sided filet i put it on tin foil and curl the edges up. if not put scale side down and brush while cooking
