Need fish recipes.

gmac

I was gonna titles this thread "is fish even really food if it's not fried?" but I know many of you guys love fish so I decided to just ask for help. 

We are trying to eat a bit better and incorporate more fish which I don't really care for unless it's deep fried. We bought a few prepared fish items and they were ok in the oven but I am looking for more options and of course a chance to use the BGE. 
Tonight I have some halibut filets thawed out but I am not sure how to approach them. Was thinking of something on the egg with one of the rubs from the exchange that says "seafood" on it but will flaky white fish even hold together?  How do you all do fish on the BGE?

One last item, can't stand salmon so don't worry about salmon recipes. All other fish is fine. 

Legume

depends on the fish - good, fresh, meaty fish I treat like a steak, simple grilling, a little butter, herb or lemon to finish.  Not as meaty and I like to season like a fajita and grill it hot and fast and make fish tacos.  Thin and flaky like sole and it's better off in a pan.

edit - I don't really have any fish recipes

Oh blackened halibut is one of my favorite on the grill. 

Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper, a little oil. (Or make your own)

get the grate hot, wipe it real quick with oil, like4 or 5 minutes on each side. 

I serve with grilled corn, maybe some Brussels, or like a light watermelon feta salad to balance the spicy on the fish.

tuna steaks

scallops

preheat pan, dry off the scollops with paper towells (this is important for a good sear), salt and sear immediatly, dont wait til the center turns hard white(just slightly translucent in the middle, they will finish cooking off the egg). i sear in oil and i want it shimmering hot, maybe 450. i also started doing pan sauces with them a few years back, remove cooked scallops, add diced shallots and brown, add a 1/4 cup white wine, a dash worcestershire, a squirt dijon, a tbls butter and reduce. im priced out of scallops, 22 bucks the other day a pound, thats crazy



sure you dont want the salmon croquette recipe



braised the salmon in butter, maybe 4 pounds meat shredded, 2 red onions, 2 large jalapenos, 2 sticks celery, 1 sleeve ritzs crackers, some mustard, pepper, onion and garlic powder, and some cayenne, about a cup and a half mayo. mix it all up and fold the salmon and some panko in. sauce was mayo with a couple tbsp franks, green relish, and a shot of honey

Dude these look incredible. I love scallops. I could eat my weight in them. My wife is allergic, so I bought some this week to eat while she is out of town. I think I'll try this recipe. Edit: I got them at Costco, they definitely were not that much. They weren't this quality either, but it's just me and the little tike so I wasn't swinging for the fences.

Get a bag of frozen mahi mahi fillets from Costco (they're awesome and don't taste "fishey")  season gently with cavenders or swamp venom - grill 350-400 direct 2-3 min per side squeeze a little lemon juice after plating for good measure - simple, delicious and healthy!

And it's seafood so it's good for you.

@fishlessman  Any chance of sharing the recipe?  That looks great. 
BTW, the youngest had soccer tonight so I am cooking later but will post. And we have haddock, not halibut. H names confuse me. Gonna go blackened I guess in case I burn it and have an excuse.

Hahaha, well played

@Killit_and_Grillit  now if we were talking venison or other game I can share a few recipes. 
Cant wait for deer season. Made 140 lbs of venison sausage last year. Shooting for deer haggis this year. Get it...shooting for...

ryantt

@BigGreenCraig has posted some great looking fish in the past maybe he will chime in.

lazy mans shrimp lejon using proscuitto instead of bacon, done in a small cast iron. cant get enough horseradish in a shrimp, dumping it on seems to help. super sharp white cheddar. did that proscuitto of yours ever go green

nolaegghead

@fishlessman - nope, it never went green.  I processed the whole leg, all at once, about a month ago.  Mostly sliced it up but diced some weird pieces.  It's all vacuum packed in the fridge.  But it was on the counter before cutting for about 9 months.

Thanks guys. I am sorry to say that everything fell apart with soccer that night and I ended up just doing the fish in a pan the next day with no egg involved. Lots of rub and blackened and it was good but I will do better next time
