I have 10 redfish filets from Sunday.

I always cook on the halfshell or blacken. What are some other good recipes?

Look up a good courtbouillon recipe. Fillet the whole fish and make a stock from the heads and bones, strain this well. A little few things to do to it I would suggest is adding about 15 whole cloves to the mixture of it as it cooks down. Add the pieces of fish about 10-15 minutes into the pot before serving. I you can't find what you consider as "good" come back and ask later.

I think I have posted my Courtbouillion recipe in the TD recipe book. Hard to beat with redfish.

Courtbouillon

Pan seared with a lemon butter caper sauce.

Blackened is actually very good cold in a salad or on poboy bread.

You could do something like Emeril's andouille crusted redfish. What a great dish.

I want to say in Southern Comfort cookbook (MiLa folks) there is a recipe for a smoked redfish dip. Maybe give that a whirl. You've basically covered two of the best ways to cook redfish

Got this recipe on TD/Outdoor board. Ingredients sound a bit meh - but it's really good and different for a change.

Take your redfish on the halfshell and layer the following on each piece of redfish:

Mayo
Parmesan cheese
Tony's or your favorite cajun seasoning
Chopped green onion
Thinly sliced lemon slices
Put one pat of butter on each lemon slice. Top with fresh cracked pepper.
Put on grill and cook until done. You will know when it's done since I see you always cook on the halfshell.

I was not sure how this would turn out, but we catch a LOT of redfish and were looking for different recipes. Everyone LOVES this.

I've only tried to make courtboullion once and was not a fan.

Does redfish work in a bouillabaisse?

What size fish? Small 16"-18" are perfect for cutting into strips and frying.

Also its really good with Jack Millers BBQ Sauce and some lemon and Butter

Sure does. Thats all i use. I like it bc it holds together well. Any white fish really does well with a Bouillabaise. Just have to cook it slow.

That sounds like redfish on the halfshell w/ a parmesan crust. The mayo is pretty much just oil and prob keeps the cheese from burning.

I know - the ingredients sound ridiculous but the mayo, parm, lemon and butter make the BEST white sauce!! It is the only way my family wants redfish cooked now!
