Fresh Redfish

Spent a few days down in Venice, La with my father and lots of friends. One of the guys on the trip is a huge cook and taught me a new Redfish on the half shell recipe.

Also made a homemade Ceasar dressing over grilled Romaine lettuce with salt and pepper asparagus. Needless to say the family loved it.



I have always loved cooking but over the last year have really started to get into even more, looking forward to sharing new things I find with my wife and kids.

One of my favorites. You might sprinkle with a little paprika since they don't brown on top.

Look like a great combo. Hush puppies?

Absolutely the best way to cook redfish, and I eat a lot of redfish! Looks great!

Tell me more about grilling Romaine.

Bill- the seasoning mix had paprika in it but since it was my first time using it I went light so I did not over season the fish, will add a little more next time, got plenty more fish to cook.

Cast-- basically take a head of Romaine, leave whole, wash and dry the best you can. Then cut length wise, brush olive oil on it, put on a hot grill till you get grill marks and the tips start to blacken and wilt. Take off the grill, I cut the bottom of then drizzle Caesar dressing on it, top with shaved Parm.

And the Caesar dressing recipe please?

Three Cloves of Garlic
3 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
Pinch Salt
Pinch Pepper
Optional 1 Teaspoon Anchovy paste

Blend to combine, then while the blender is running drizzle in 3/4 cup Olive Oil, slowly, to emulsify the Dressing.

After than pulse in 1/2 cup fresh grated Parm.

No coddled egg?

Nope

I'd rather have your redfish than my trout but wanted to show you what a little extra paprika on top would do for the color. I remember that I used chili powder rather than paprika on this one. Chili powder is mostly paprika anyway.

I get most of my flavor from the flavored butter that I serve with the fish.

Looks great

my favorite part of the redfish is the jaw meat i believe thats the best tasting food their is!
