Anyone have a recipe for fresh cobia? I want to try something different than my go to like blackened, or breaded in italian bread crumbs, etc. I've done steaks before in a lemon caper sauce that was pretty good, but open to recs.

it’s very good served as sashimi if you have a sharp knife and a steady hand. Cobia otherwise isn’t very forgiving and overcooks easily. And there’s no fixing it when you do.

one thing you can do is poach it either in a highly seasoned broth or in oil. That method gives you a little more margin of error

What about in a bag with marinade and do sous vide?

I like easy. I’ll strip cut the filets about an inch thick and individually wrap with Saran Wrap then into a gallon freezer ziplock bag. Take out 3 strips, unwrap and season with garlic salt and lemon pepper then place frozen strips onto baking sheet. 22 minutes in a 400F oven and you have a quick, tasty lemon fish meal.

I usually just use salt, pepper, a little butter, and put some lemon juice on it after cooking on a really hot grill. It's easy to overcook and dry out. I usually slice it up into ~3/4" steaks to help avoid this.

I had some Cobia Wontons down in Grand Isle last Summer. My God were they awesome. No recipe though. Sorry.

Cobia Courtbouillon for the alliteration.

Lowcountry Ling-Ling Grits Benedict:

Blackened Cobia Filet on a bed of grits, topped with a crab cake, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce.
