Hey fishing buddies,
Was out fishing today and though I didn’t catch any keepers my fishing buddy did. He gave me a 19 inch Red. I’ve already filleted it, leaving on the scales.
Do y’all have any recommendations on how to cook it? I grilled it one time but found it too tough. Another time I used Cajun seasoning and baked it but I used too much seasoning.
Any ideas?

My father usually puts a fish fry batter on it and frys it. It always comes out super good!!

That sounds good! Does it stay tender?

I’ve never had a tough piece when he’s cooked it. Very flaky and delicious

Or just season it with Lemon pepper and lemon slices wrap it in foil and throw it on the grill

Next time dont remove scales. Filet and cook it "on the half shell" i.e. grill it skin side down. Dont flip it. Season the meat side with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon, fantastic

Dip in egg wash and then into crushed Doritos and release into hot oil. Simple and delicious. I used to do it with Italian bread crumbs, but the Doritos method doesn’t require any seasoning.

1) Season with Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning on flesh side to taste
2) Spread on a coating of Original Ranch Dressing
3) crumble French’s Fried Onions generously over the top and lightly press in.
4) Cook directly over medium coals with the lid down until fork tender.
The scales will blacken but will protect the meat and hold in the moisture.
This is a must try
