DP Bayouish Blackened Red Snapper
Dizzy Pig was kind enough to send me a sample of their new rub Bayouish last week to try out.
And the note
Wasn't sure what kind of fish I was going to get when I headed to the store. Maybe catfish or trout, but then this beautiful red snapper jumped out at me. I followed @porta method from his blackened snook last week and got my Egg preheated with the CI skillet inside. For some reason, my Egg wanted to hover around 650 and didn't want to cruise up to 700. Eh...close enough for me. Brushed the red snapper with melted butter then liberally coated it with Bayouish. Poured about a tbsp of melted butter in the skillet and dropped the fish in flesh side down for 2 minutes.
Look at it smoke!! Flipped it, added some more butter and let it go another two minutes before I pulled it.
Mrs. G whipped up some dirty rice (chicken livers and all!) to go along with it.
The red snapper was pretty darn tasty and I can see us using Dizzy Pig’s Bayouish often once they officially release it. It had a nice flavor and didn’t overpower the fish at all. If anything, Mrs. G and I both wish it had a bit more spice to it. I understand when marketing to the masses, you have to please a wide range of palettes, but the heat was just lacking in our humble opinions. Nothing a little hot sauce won’t fix. Or mixing in a little cayenne to the rub. Otherwise, the flavors were pretty well balanced. If you like really spicy food, this might not be the rub for you, but if you are addicted to blackened fish, you should give it a try.
And if you are wondering, 650 will take the seasoning off the bottom of your skillet. I've got nice little "grill marks" from where it was resting on the grate. Whoops.

Nicely done Griffin. I did some chicken breasts and scallops with my sampler and my wife and I both thought it needed additional salt. A little more kick would be nice too.Mike

Dirty rice with chicken livers is awesome. That's how they make it at Papadeuaxs and I love the stuff. I'm hungry now.

Looks terrific! Good to hear that it's not high on salt. When I want more kick in something, I add a dash of Slap Ya Mama Hot (the red one).#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

I will definitely be doing this once DP releases the rub to us ordinary folks. Looks awesome... Good choice on the red snapper.

Griffin, do you think you can accomplish the blackening effect without the CI skillet? Going to do some blackened fish tonight, but have never done it on the egg. I have a CI skillet, but not sure what size it is off the top of my head.Edit: After a little more research found out the CI skillet is the best method. Just might not go as high on temp as you did. Prolly will stick around 500-550. Hopefully this wont ruin my skillet too bad.Large and Small BGECentral, IL

Austin Egghead said:Won't ruin a seasoned CI skillet. After the cook while CI is still ripping hot take a well warm water towel and sop up the bit off the skillet. Just be careful tree will be a lot of sputtering. After cleaning let dry throughly and put a very light coat of oil (I like peanut). Let the CI cool down with he egg.Large and Small BGECentral, IL
