    Looks like a first round knockout to me.

    Status- Standing by.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    I have a hunch that the Grouper Gods are smiling down in approval with envious eyes my friend.

    Yes, sir! That's how I do it too. Do you mix your own blackened seasoning? If so, care to share your recipe? I use Zatarain's Blackened Seasoning, which is very good, but also open to trying something new. Thanks for posting.

    Yes I make my own blackening season.  It's in a airtight jar in my spice cabinet.  I just keep a smaller amount in the small shaker.  The recipe is off if internet.  I have it in my book.   I will find it when I get a beer.

    Rinsed and dried the scallops.  Sprinkled with s&p.    Mixed a little olive oil and soy.  Brushed the grouper and applied the blacken seasoning.   Started the lump.    Put the griddle on my spider for about 20 mins at 400-450 to get hot.  Applied a little oil to the skillet. Spread with spatula.   Put the scallops in. Watch until they Carmelize.  2-3 mins.  Slide them together as they will shrink.  Scrape the griddle.  Add butter. Flip the scallops onto the butter.   Scrape the other side.  Add oil. Then grouper.vremove scallops when both sides are Carmelize.   Look for blackening on the bottom. Flip and add butter.    Grouper is sweet and scallops are sweeter.  So scallops are really better paired with shrimp finished with butter then fresh lemon.   Taste bud Pron!!
