Redfish on the half shell

What would you do, caught several slot reds today with a buddy and we left the skin on the filets.
I think I have 6-8, but probably only cooking two at a time. We also each had about a gallon of trout filets each also. I love fall fishing

I like grilling with blackening seasoning and a lemon butter mixture that I paint on there.

No good, throw that out, better yet, I will dispose of them for you.
Seriously though, grill the redfish and fry the specks. Don’t over think this. Invite friends/family over and cook it all fresh if you don’t want to freeze it.

Just skin, or skin and scales? I filet them and let the skin and scales on the reds.
That way you have a built in cooking utensil to finish the fish on the grill with no fuss or muss.
I'll take some butter and melt it, add minced garlic, green onions, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce and let them blend over a low fire.
Get the grill hot, put the redfish on the grill, scale side down and baste the meat with the above mixture until they are done.
Remove from the grill and eat like a hog in heaven with whatever you fix to go with it.

i like to season them with lemon pepper, red pepper, salt, and black pepper. grill on the scales and pour melted butter with lemon juice all over the meat.

I grill redfish on the half shell quite often. I drizzle a little Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, butter and Tony's. I grill scale side down for 8-10 minutes at around 400° directly over the coals.

I was a saltwater guide for 10 years and captains started that redfish on the half shell bullshite because they were too frickin lazy to finish cleaning them correctly. Seriously, if the fish is 20 plus inches the bloodline is gonna frick up the flavor of the meat. That’s why you see all these recipes with butter garlic lemon Worcestershire sauce Italian dressing and Tonys is to mask that nasty arse bloodline. Filet the damn fish and cut the bloodline out for the best taste. Leave out the overpowering marinades and flavor concealers and use salt and pepper and a splash of lemon juice if you must. If you have to put all that shite on fish to make it taste good you’re doing it wrong. Might as well let the frickin fish live and buy frickin chicken breast.
